I've been waiting for so long
I can wait a little longer
You take my pulse and now you're gone
Well, I can wait a little more

We used to have heart to hearts
But lately we're a world apart
We folks are odd but we are kind
Can we help you ease your mind?

You're up before the Sun is up
You're done after its gone
But still the work keeps piling up
Don't feel like you belong
Applause is cheap I know
Wish I could lend a hand
But I don't know much medicine

All I can give is thanks
Help me help you help us
Better make me understand
If there's a weight to share together
Take my helping hands
No one makes on their own
Just tell me what you need from me
We share with you our meal, sure to take our pills
Take proper care of ourselves

Feeling like you owe the world
Everything you've got
And everyone around you is
Everything you're not
You just can't get your mind off
The ones you couldn't save
The ones you couldn't save
The ones you could've saved

Feeling like you're owed nothing
Other than what you've got
And everyone around you is
Everything you're not
Eight more years of this is
More than what you could take
More than what you could take
Oh

Applause is cheap I know
So take my helping hands
Being here leaves me feeling blue
But it isn't so bad with you
They've been waiting for so long
They can wait a little longer
The folks are odd but they are kind
It's nice to help around sometimes
