Allen Collins – Ronnie Van Zant – Gary Rossington
Oh. Now when you think the times are bad
Take a look around
Cause babies are dying from disease
Sleeping out on the ground
If youve ever seen the tortured eyes
From a foreign land. Ooooh No
When you see somebody whos 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
Wont you share your bread
If youve ever felt the pain inside
I know youd understand
When you see somebody whos 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 youve ever felt the pain inside
I know youd understand
When you see somebody whos down and out
Lend a helpin hand
Why dont you, lend a helpin hand. If you can
Lend a helpin hand
Wont you please lend a helpin hand
