Helping Hand

Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
we're gonna heal this broken land
I know you're runnin' out of faith
You hear lies to your face
and the spin it just goes
on and on and on and on and
We think we can't make
any difference anyway
So we don't communicate
at all, at all, at all
But if I talk to you
and you just talk to me
We'll find that common ground
that's waiting in between
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
We're gonna heal this broken land
Heal this broken land
There's no better time to
share your point of view
even if we don't
agree, agree, agree, agree, no
That don't mean that we can't
come up with a plan
'Cause harmony is what
we need, we need, we need
And if I reach your way
and you reach out to mine
Who knows what kind of better
that we're gonna find
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
we're gonna heal this broken land
We can make it all right
We can make it all right
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
same direction yea
Come on over everybody
and lend a helping hand
One day at a time
is how we'll get back there again
Come on over everybody
and do all that you can
'Cause if we all pull in the same direction
We're gonna heal this broken land
Heal this broken land
We can
Heal this broken land
Heal this broken land
