Oh, now when you think the time's, babe Take a look around 'Cause babies are dying from disease Sleeping out on the ground People never seen the tortured eyes From a foreign land, no When you see somebody who's down and out Lend a helpin' hand You better lend a helpin' hand, if you can Lend a helpin' hand Do it if you can Oh, every time you feed your face Do you bow your head? Hunger kills each and every day Won't you share your bread? If you've ever felt the pain inside I know you'd understand When you see somebody who's down and out Lend a helpin' hand You better lend a helpin' hand, if you can Lend a helpin' hand Won't you please Oh, every time you feed that face Do you look around? For somebody right in your own neighborhood Sleepin' out on the ground If you've ever felt the pain inside I know you'd understand When you see somebody who's down and out Lend a helpin' hand Why don't you lend a helpin' hand if you can? Lend a helpin' hand Won't you please lend a helpin' hand
