I wrote this song for my friends that had put together a benefit for me as I went thru my bout with colon cancer. I was astonished at the response that I didn't ask for but my friends and the bands made a night out of it and I'll never forget it EVER. That was in 2008 and i have been cancer free since then. The scar on my belly and the tingly feet remind me everyday too that I am lucky to still be here.
Lyrics
THEY SAID YEAH – SMonroe
CAN I GET SOME HELP THEY SAID YEAH
CAN I GET SOME LOVE THEY SAID YEAH
CAN YOU TALK TO THE MAN UPSTAIRS FOR ME THEY SAID YEAH
I’M GOIN THRU A BIT OF A TOUGH TIME AND I COULD USE SOME HELP IF YOU DON’T MIND
I JUST ASKED AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
YOU NEVER KNOW WHATS COMING UP AND EVEN IF YOU DO SOMETIMES THAT AIN’T ENOUGH
YOU NEED A FRIEND TO HELP YOU THRU YOUR TROUBLED TIMES
DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP THERE’S LOTS OF THINGS WE JUST CAN’T DO OURSELVES
AND WHEN YOU DO YOU’LL LET THOSE POWERS COME YOUR WAY
CAN I GET SOME HELP THEY SAID YEAH
CAN I GET SOME LOVE THEY SAID YEAH
CAN YOU TALK TO THE MAN UPSTAIRS FOR ME THEY SAID YEAH
I’M GOIN THRU A BIT OF A TOUGH TIME AND I THINK I MIGHT WIN IF YOU’RE ON MY SIDE
I JUST ASKED AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
JUST TO SURVIVE YOU GOT TO BE SO STRONG
BUT I’M TELLING YOU SOMETIMES THAT ANSWERS WRONG
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS ASK FOR A HELPING HAND
I’M TELLING YOU THAT WHEN YOU DO THE ONES WHO CARE WILL COME SHINING THRU
AND THERES PEOPLE YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WILL BE THERE TOO
NOW I KNOW YOU DON’T WANT TO SEEM WEAK
REMEMBER THAT STORY ABOUT THE OTHER CHEEK
SOMETIMES GIVING IN AIN’T EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMS
JUST CUZ YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE DON’T MEAN YOUR BACK AIN’T GOT NO BONE
IT JUST MEANS THAT YOU USED MORE BRAIN THAN BRAUN.
CAN I GET SOME HELP THEY SAID YEAH
CAN I GET SOME LOVE THEY SAID YEAH
CAN YOU TALK TO THE MAN UPSTAIRS FOR ME THEY SAID YEAH
I’M GOIN THRU A BIT OF A TOUGH TIME AND I THINK I COULD WIN IF YOU’RE ON MY SIDE
I JUST ASKED AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
CAN I GET SOME HELP YOU ALL SAID YEAH
CAN I GET SOME LOVE YOU ALL SAID YEAH
CAN YOU TALK TO THE MAN UPSTAIRS FOR ME YOU ALL SAID YEAH
I’M GOIN THRU A BIT OF A TOUGH TIME AND I’M SURE I’M GONNA WIN CUZ YOU’RE ON MY SIDE
I JUST ASKED AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO SEE ALL THIS LOVE REVEALED
I JUST ASKED AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
AND THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH THEY SAID YEAH
