Help Him Stand Lyrics

Son, I gotta do more than just take my brother by the hand
I've gotta look into his heart and try to help him understand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man, well
But with compa*sion we must look inside
To help him stand, help him stand

It's not so easy just to look and see the need of man
And when he's down it's almost natural to wanna lend a hand
Though the need of love goes deeper than we understand
But when we see through eyes of love
We're better able to lend a hand

Son, I gotta do more than just take my brother by the hand
I've gotta look into his heart and try to help him understand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
But with compa*sion we must look inside
To help him stand, help him stand

No, it's not the food or money that the poor man really needs
It's not the shelter from the rain that he seeks when he's in pain
It's more than just the love of a woman that fulfills a man's dreams
Open up your heart so that you'll see the need
'Cause he's a man, so help him stand now

Son, I gotta do more than just take my brother by the hand
I've gotta look into his heart and try to help him understand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
But with compa*sion we should look inside
To help him stand

Lord, somebody help me say, help me lay
Deep down inside

Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
But with compa*sion we should look inside
To help him stand, help him stand

Looking through the eyes of love
See what compa*sion is made of
That's what we gotta do, listen
More than what the eye can see
And not the ordinary
I've gotta help him stand, help him stand

Son, I gotta do more than just take my brother by the hand
I've gotta look into his heart and try to help him understand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
But with compa*sion we should look inside
To help him stand, help him stand, yeah
Help him stand, yeah, help him stand

Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
Yeah, yeah, I've gotta help him stand, help him stand
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

More than just take my brother by the hand
I've gotta look into his heart and try to help him understand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man
But with compa*sion we should look inside
To help him stand

More than just take my brother by the hand
Help him stand
Not looking through the eyes of just an ordinary man

I will help him stand
Oh yeah, help him stand
Oh, come on, come on
Come on, come on baby, ooh yeah
Help him stand
