As I make my way forward
It is on You I call for help
It is You I move toward
And You who heard my call
My call for help
Before I had a voice to cry out with
Before I knew I needed help
You were there for me
There for the world
There to help
And while the world abandoned You
You came to help the world
With love and compassion
Your mission is complete
And the origins of the word help
Begins and ends with you
