Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seems like forever
But it hasn't been that long
Don't say never
That you could ever be that strong
[Verse 2]
The opportunity to help somebody through it
The chance they might need helpin' gettin' by
Some day somebody gonna ask, "How did you do it?"
It just took a little try
[Verse 3]
You could be sad and lonely
There'll be other times for that
Let's find out, why don't we?
And hit the trouble where it is at
[Verse 4]
The opportunity to help somebody through it
The chance they just might need helpin' gettin' by
Some day somebody's gonna ask, "How did you do it?"
It just took a little try
[Verse 5]
Sittin' still, no action
It's time to move
It feels good, get some traction
While you're howling at the moon
[Verse 6]
The opportunity to help somebody through it
The chance they just might need helpin' gettin' by
Some day somebody's gonna ask, "How did you do it?"
It just took a little try
[Verse 7]
The opportunity to help somebody through it
The chance they just might need helpin' gettin' by
Some day somebody's gonna ask, "How did you do it?"
All we can do is try
