(allen collins - ronnie van zant - gary rossington)



Oh. now when you think the time's ___

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
