LEND A HELPIN' HAND
(Allen Collins / Ronnie Van Zant / Gary Rossington)
Lynyrd Skynyrd


Oh. Now when you think the time's are tough 
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 
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 
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
