Oh. Now when you think the time's flying

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

Do it if you can



Oh. Every time you feed that face

Do you look around

For somebody right in your own neighborhood

Sleepin' out on the ground



And do some down south jukin'

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
