Lyrics
THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS BIG WORLD
THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A LIFE WITH HOPE
THEY DON'T NEED A HANDOUT JUST A HANDUP
THEY STRUGGLE TO LIVE ON WHAT THEY'RE MAKING
THEY WORK SO HARD TO GET AHEAD
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO HELP THEM
CAN YOU LEND A HELPING HAND
WHO WILL IT BE
TO HELP THOSE IN NEED
TRY TO IMPROVE ON WHAT THEY HAVE
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FOOD FOR OUR CHILD
WE HAVE SO MUCH, LITTLE DO WE NEED
IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO HELP THEM
CAN YOU LEND, A HELPING HAND
CAN YOU LEND A HELPING HAND
WHO WILL IT BE
TO HELP THOSE IN NEED
ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS BIG WORLD
THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE
THEY DON'T NEED A HANDOUT JUST A HAND UP
CAN YOU LEND A HELPING HAND
THOUGH THEY'RE POOR THEY HAVE A PLAN
CAN YOU LEND A HELPING HAND
CAN YOU LEND A HELPING HAND
A HELPING HAND FROM YOU AND ME
A HELPING HAND
A HELPING HAND
