[Verse 1] Everyone’s got advice to give, but no one’s there to help me live. I stand out in the pouring rain, both hands are full of fear and pain. You talk a lot, but what I need is someone who will stay and take the lead. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t bear the voices anymore, they speak while my knees are starting to waver. If you see me, then come a little nearer, I don’t need more noise, I need you here. [Chorus –crossover - Guitar Solo, Military brass! with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] You don’t need no more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, to hold me when I can’t withstand. You don’t need no more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, and I’ll walk the road with you through the sand. [Guitar solo with sustained notes and doom feeling, sacred, monumental] [Verse 2] On every table lies a brand-new plan, but no one lifts the one stone at the edge again. The nights are long, the hallways cold and bare, and every sentence falls with only half a prayer. I don’t want a light that only shines from far, I want the one who takes the first step from where you are. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t bear the voices anymore, they keep on talking while my knees give way. If you see me, then come a little closer, I need less noise, I need you here today. [Chorus –crossover - Guitar Solo, Military brass! with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] You don’t need any more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, to hold me when I no longer stand. You don’t need any more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, and I’ll walk the road with you through the sand. [Bridge] [Spoken deep, resonant male voice, divine, like warm thunder, slow and majestic] Vielleicht ist Stärke nicht das Sagen, vielleicht ist Stärke einfach da sein. Ein Griff, der sagt: Ich geh mit dir. Ein Blick, der sagt: Du bist nicht allein. Du brauchst keine weiteren Worte, du brauchst eine helfende Hand. Eine helfende Hand, die mich hält, wenn ich nicht mehr kann. Du brauchst keine weiteren Worte, du brauchst eine helfende Hand. Eine helfende Hand, und ich geh den Weg mit dir durch den Sand. [Outro–crossover - Guitar Solo, Military brass! with sustained notes and doom feeling, Dark, sacred, monumental] You don’t need any more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, that holds me when I can’t go on. You don’t need any more words, you need a helping hand. A helping hand, and I’ll walk the road with you through the sand. A helping hand, a helping hand. [Guitar solo, very little sax! Military brass! with sustained notes and doom feeling, sacred, monumental]
