With a Little Help from Reason (thank you, The Beatles!)

Sometimes people say things out of frustration, like “I’m done with . . .” even though that thing is still a reality. Being tired of something doesn’t make it go away. This song is an encouragement to be sure to include reason when it comes to how we act in situations where there’s a lot of emotion going on. Thank you, The Beatles, for your great music! May God bless you, protect you, and give you peace!

Music: “With a Little Help from My Friends” (The Beatles)

Words by me: What would you say if I told you I’m tired of gravity tying me down? What would you think if I said I’ve decided to spend my time floating around? Oh, we get by with a little help from reason. We can reply with a little help from reason. Mmmm, gonna try with a little help from reason. What would you say if I told you momentum is such a drag – I’m over it? Would it affect my reality or change the way life works one little bit? No, we get by with a little help from reason. We can reply with a little help from reason. Mmmm, gonna try with a little help from reason. We can think, everybody, and accept the things that are real. Use our minds, everybody, not make choices based on just how we feel. When circumstances do not go my way, I can go with it or play pretend. We can have faith and yet live in today with sound minds and hearts right to the end. Oh, we get by with a little help from reason. We can reply with a little help from reason. Oh, gonna try with a little help from reason. We can think, everybody, and accept the things that are real. Use our minds, everybody, not make choices based on just how we feel. Oh, we get by with a little help from reason. We can reply with a little help from reason. Oh, gonna try with a little help from reason. Yes, we get by with a little help from reason, with a little help from reason.
