Lyrics
Helping Hand
You know there are children living in pain and tears
No matter what the situation is, it's something we all fear (but we all)
We all wanna be celebrities with headlined names
Who've got the fancy car, latest phone, got the money and the fame
And yet we never listen to the cries of the lame and lonely .x
Can't we give a helping hand
Get together and be better than what we used to be
Can't we ever give a helping hand
Share with other people love and company
Not everyone may be the help that you are being
No, not everyone may think the way that you are thinking
Helping others might not be your thing for whatever reason
But together we'll see and be
A better you and me .x
Imagine if you were a loner with no love
Sitting in your tears all night and day and it's never enough (but we all)
We all wanna be the icons and the superstars
Got our minds thinking more than what we already are
And yet we never look at all the wounded scars of the lonely .x
Right now we're seeing a world that is not a better place
There's always fighting and war that's dividing up the race
Sadness is rising even more; it's destroying happy faces
In so many places
Will we ever make it ?x
