My friend came to me with sadness in his eyes    told me that he wanted help before his country dies.  Although I couldn't feel the pain  I knew I had to try.  Now I'm asking all of you to help us save some lives.    Bangla Desh  Bangla Desh    where so many people are dying fast    and it sure looks like a mess.  I've never seen such distress.  Now  won't you lend your hand    try to understand.  Relieve the people of Bangla Desh.    Bangla Desh  Bangla Desh    such a great desaster  I don't understand    but it sure looks like a mess.  I've never known such distress.  Now  please don't turn away    I wanna hear you say    relieve the people of Bangla Desh.    Relieve the people of Bangla Desh.  Bangla Desh  Bangla Desh    now it may seem so far from where we all are.  It's something we can't reject    that suff'ring I can't neglect.  Now  won't you give some bread    get the starving fed.  We've got to relieve Bangla Desh.
