There'll be no one to help me, no, no
No mother, no father, no brother, sister can help me
Jah help those who help themselves
Even Jonah was swallowed by the whale
And the wishes of the wicked could never prevail
Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Like Daniel in the lion's den
And at the time that you got no friend
A friend in need is a friend indeed
Sometime you don't know who to trust or believe
And when you're friend become your foe
Tell them you nah let go
And if ah so, ah so
For when you're up, you know you're up
And when you're down, you sit down
And when you're only halfway
You're neither up nor down
And if ah so, ah so
Tell them you nah let go
Now the cup a overflow
This is all I know
Jah help those who help themself
Jah help those who help themself
Jah help those who help themself
Jah help those who help themself
