i wanna get up off the floor
i been down too long
i need to pull myself up
i need to push myself along
but i've lost the will to move
and the day drags me down
can i get a hand to help me up
will you lift me off the ground

my brother said you know my friend
i have for you this helpin hand
but you gotta wanna get up and around
stumblin around nobody likes
sulkin around like you ain't got no life
what do you need to get up off of the ground

i got a crutch
it don't mean much to me
you're out of touch
you gotta be such a tragedy

if i can find a thing to lean on
i'm gonna lean on it
if i can find a mic to scream on
you're gonna hear about it

my brother said you know my friend

i wanna get up off the floor
i wanna get up off the floor
