☀️ The Daily Boost #785

☀️ Help me believe help is on the way

HELP IS ON THE WAY
Akie Bermiss, Michael Calabrese, Bridget Kearney, and Rachael Price

Softer skin, harder muscles
Inner peace, outer hustle
Spend my days, spend my money
Tryna help myself 
Bigger dreams, smaller ego
Less machines, more libido
All the ways, all the time
I'm tryna help myself

Chorus:
But I can’t help myself, help myself help me
No, I can't help myself, so help me get free
What if all of us out helping ourselves could help somebody else?
Help is on the way, help is on the way

No excess in my diet
Supplements, yeah, I'll buy it
Tonics, tinctures, you know I’ll try it
I'm tryna help myself 
Longer life, lower tension
Endless knowledge, no retention
I forget now, did I mention
I'm tryna help myself?

Chorus

Self-acceptance got no nearer
My perception got no clearer
From all this staring in the mirror
Tryna help myself 
Oh, but just when I thought I'd hit my limit
I saw that all of us are here in it
And I forgot for just one minute
About tryna help myself

Chorus

(My thanks to Lake Street Dive.)
