My friend came to me with sadness in his eyes
Told me that he wanted help before his country dies

Although I couldn't feel the pain I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you, help us save some lives

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Where so many people are dying fast
And it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now won't you lend your hand
Try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Such a great disaster, I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I never known such distress
Please don't turn away
I wanna hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh

Bangla Desh, Bangla Desh
Though it may seem so far
From where we all are
It's something we can't reject
That suffering I can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread
Get the starving fed
We got to relieve Bangla Desh

Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
We got to relieve Bangla Desh

Now won't you lend your hand
Try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
