Chorus:

Everybody needs a helping hand

Take a look at your fellow man

And tell me what can I do today

'Cause everybody needs a helping out

If that ain't what it's all about

Tell me what

What can I do

What can I do today



We've all seen trouble from time to time

There is a mountain ahead

I've got no strength to climb, hey

If you're feeling that you're strong

Reach out to me

I hope this journey won't take long

But won't you please

Have mercy



(Repeat Chorus)



What can I do today



I'm talking 'bout the soul all alone

Needing the daily bread

Someplace to lay his head, yeah, hey

And I'm talking about the neighbor on your street

Won't you look him in the eye

Take time to speak

That's mercy, yeah, 'cause...



(Repeat Chorus)



Love one another

Sister and brother

Love is the only way, hey



(Repeat Chorus Twice)



What can I do today

Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'

Everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'

Everybody needs a helping hand



Everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it

Everybody needs a helping hand

Oh, everybody needs it, oh, yeah, oh, everybody needs it

Oh, yeah, everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it

Everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs it
