Just a little hand can be a great big help

It can make a big difference

And there's a better plan than to do this ourselves

There is another point of reference and

I've never known an island

and I've never seen it work that way

I've come to understand

We do the best we can

But everybody needs a little hand

Just and little hand can go a long long way

And there's no shame in askin' and yes

No matter what they do

Or what they say

You can't live without a little tenderness

There's always gifts of kindness

And there's always little acts of bravery

I've come to understand

We do the best we can

But everybody needs a little hand

So call if your ever alone or down

And you need someone to be around

Just call

Just a little hand can be a great big help

It can make all the difference

And there's no reason to doubt

There is no story or fiction here, and

I've never known an island, and

I've never seen it work that way

I've come to understand

We do the best we can

But everybody needs a little hand

So call if your ever alone or down

And you need someone to be around

I've come to understand

We do the best we can

But everybody needs a little hand

Just a little hand
