Lend A Hand (Song Lyrics)

Verse 1
Lend a hand to your neighbor
A smile to a friend
Bask in the glory and never let it end.
Time is such a treasure
Taken for granted
Like summer nights
And whispering winds
Whirling in a star filled sky

Chorus:
Suddenly the storm clouds pierce right through
Darkness blankets crimson sky.
Bursts of thunder lightning fill the air
Rushing water everywhere.
The streets soon look like rivers
Joy quickly turns to despair
Howling winds so deafening
People need help to survive

Verse 2
Lend a hand to build bridges
For all to cross.
Let’s work together
Or all will be lost.
Time is so precious
This is the moment
For joining hands will make us strong
Lead us to a brand-new day.

Chorus
Listen well to the sparrow’s call
Telling us of their plight
Angry winds stronger hurricanes
Make it hard for their flight.

Give voice to all the weary
They're all striving to survive.
Sing our song for all to hear
Let's keep our mission alive.

Verse 3
Lend a hand for our future
One dream at a time
Let's work together
And that mountain we will climb.
We are all earths' voices
All on one team
Spreading hope for everyone
Is how we'll succeed.
We're earth's voices
Working for our future.
Lend a hand.
