1st Verse
When we look past our green pastures, families and close friends,
is there a neighbor or a stranger who could use a helping hand?
Once we fulfill our needs what can we do for others?
When you see someone in need won’t you lend a hand?
When we look in children’s eyes that ride life’s trail alone.
We can see their loneliness, their hunger to be loved.
A friend, a hug, someone who cares can brighten their tomorrows.
When you see someone in need won’t you lend a hand?

Chorus
So, give a damn! And, won’t you please lend a hand?
Give those less blessed than you what you can.
Lift up those who need your help to stand.
Won’t you please, please lend a hand?

2nd verse
When we look in an old soldier’s eyes whose glory days are gone
we can see the war’s they’ve fought to keep our country strong.
Forgotten in a lonely place they look for friendly faces.
When you see someone in need won’t you lend a hand?
When we look to sides of country roads and busy city streets we can see life’s not been kind to everyone we see.
A bag of food, a box of clothes, can keep them fed and warm.
When you see someone in need won’t you lend a hand?

Chorus
So, give a damn! And, won’t you please lend a hand?
Give those less blessed than you what you can.
Lift up those who need your help to stand.
So won’t you please, please lend a hand?

Ending (chorus)
Won’t you please, please lend a hand?
Give those less blessed than you what you can.
Lift up those who need your help to stand.
Give a damn! And, won’t you please lend a hand?
