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
