(Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant - Gary Rossington)



Oh. Now when you think the time's ___ 

Take a look around 

'Cause babies are dying from disease 

Sleeping out on the ground 

People never seen the tortured eyes 

From a foreign land. No 

When you see somebody who's 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 

Won't you share your bread 

If you've ever felt the pain inside 

I know you'd understand 

When you see somebody who's 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 

And do some down south jukin' 

If you've ever felt the pain inside 

I know you'd understand 

When you see somebody who's down and out 

Lend a helpin' hand 

Why don't you, lend a helpin' hand. If you can 

Lend a helpin' hand 

Won't you please lend a helpin' hand
