Maxwell - Help Somebody Lyrics






There's a moving inner peace that I love to see
Gotta raise my soul to tell you how I feel
Gotta listen to the tears that people cry for me
In a world that's so wild fear creeps

'Cause when I get up to hear you tears just fill my eyes
Now I know I got to let the selfishness subside
Tell 'em y'all

Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know

If you see the future ask it if I'm there
Ask it if I'm there

Ask it to tell you did I ever make a stand
Ask if you may care to mention, did I learn from everything?
And even if it takes a sea of eternity to know
I'll wait a century, a buried mess of bones, help me

Help me to give myself the way that you've given you
Help me to be the helping hand that makes a dream come true
Choir sing

Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know

If I'm there, tell me if I'm there
Do you see me there?
...

Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, give a little bit more
Help somebody, help somebody
Show them what it is, let 'em know

If you see the future ask it if I'm there
Ask it if I'm there

    k.... ....

    +kevseb66 Yep...you should check out a song by Miguel and Lenny Kravitz called 'Face the Sun'. Its great!

  13. k.... ....

    I heard this piece in the supermarket of all places & forgot how astounding this album is.  This piece in particular didn't get the air play but is truly "inspired" to piggy back on another Y.T's comment  from the lyric to the killer arrangement Those horns just slay me. I've always loved Maxwell's vocal styling. I'm a very reluctant, shy singer but I connect with this man musically & he definitely inspires the singer in me. It hurts my heart that real (soul) music is no longer "in style".

  14. a.... ....

    ..inspired!

  15. G.... B....

    Chris Dave. Yea, buddy.

  29. C.... L....

    it's good to see artists mature and grow over the years. when he came on the scene in the early 90's with "Ascension" he was obviously talented but this album shows that he's honed his craft.

  62. L.... T....

    Mr. Maxwell, you are doing wonderful work...seen and unseen. Thank you so much for the inspiring examples.

  63. L.... T....

    Did he say "...if you see the future ask it if I'm there, ask it if I'm there"...? " and "...help me to give myself the way that you've given you, help me to be the helping hand that makes a dream come true."?

  64. e.... ....

    Now if somebody can get "Fist Full of Tears" done up, that would be awesome. This whole CD is the business, but that track is something special...
