Helping hand
George Tidwell Lyrics

Everybody needs a helping hand
Everyone requires assistance and support from time to time.

Take a look at your fellow man
Observe the people around you and assess their needs.

And tell me what can I do today
Figure out what actions can be taken to provide aid and support to others today.

'Cause everybody needs a helping out
It is necessary to extend a helping hand to others in need.

If that ain't what it's all about
Helping others is an integral part of our lives and existence, and it should be prioritized.

We've all seen trouble from time to time
Every one of us experiences difficulties and challenges periodically.

There is a mountain ahead
There are significant obstacles in the way of achieving goals.

I've got no strength to climb, hey
I don't have the energy or resources necessary to overcome the obstacles on my own.

If you're feeling that you're strong
If you possess the capacity and ability to help others, then do so.

Reach out to me
Offer support or assistance to those in need.

I hope this journey won't take long
I hope that the hardships and challenges people face are short-lived.

But won't you please
Please help me.

Have mercy
Show compassion and kindness to others.

I'm talking 'bout the soul all alone
I'm referring to people who are isolated or feel disconnected from others.

Needing the daily bread
Requiring basic necessities for survival, such as food.

Someplace to lay his head, yeah, hey
Having somewhere to rest and take shelter.

And I'm talking about the neighbor on your street
Referring to the person who lives close by.

Won't you look him in the eye
Make a genuine effort to connect with your neighbor and understand their needs.

Take time to speak
Spend time with others, listen to them, and communicate effectively.

That's mercy, yeah, 'cause...
Doing all of these things demonstrates kindness and compassion towards others.

Love one another
Treat each other with kindness and respect.

Sister and brother
All human beings are equal and should be treated as such.

Love is the only way, hey
Compassion and love should be the guiding principles of our actions and interactions with others.

What can I do today
How can I help others today?

Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'
Everyone needs assistance and support from others.

Everybody needs a helping hand
We all require help and support from time to time.

Everybody needs it, oh, yeah, oh, everybody needs it
Everyone has a fundamental need for connection, care, and support.
