With a Little Help From My Friends

My night time processing woke me up with a few lyrics in my head. It was probably the Joe Cocker version (I was a big Wonder Years fan as a child) but I include the Beatles lyrics below. I think my last post brought this out. I think it helps answer that question: If I am not my models, if I am not my comparisons, if I am not in control then what am I? (A friend). (My best friend).

What would you think if I sang outa tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
What do I do when my love is away.
(does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(are you sad because you’re on your own)
No I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
(Do you need anybody),
I need somebody to love.
(Could it be anybody)
I want somebody to love.
(Would you believe in a love at first sight),
Yes I’m certain that it happens all the time.
(What do you see when you turn out the light),
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s mine.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.
(Do you need anybody),
I just need someone to love,
(Could it be anybody),
I want somebody to love.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm gonna try with a little help from my friends,
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends,
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
With a little help from my friends.
