A Helping Hand
So much to do, so much to get done
Shakin' hands and makin' deals
Goin' in circles with all the big wheels
By night he's where the bright lights shine
Spendin' his money, spendin' all of his time
But if one in need should come his way
He just looks the other way
A helping hand
He's never one to give
A helping hand
Has his own life to live
Brotherhood and charity
Are not part of his plan
He can't see there's a need for
A helping hand
The homeless of the city street
Lie trampled underneath his feet
Their lot in life is not his own
They've got their street he's got his home
He seems to think he matters more
Than the weak and the sick and the old and the poor
He proclaims with self-important pride
That the strongest should alone survive
A helping hand
He's never one to give
A helping hand
Has his own life to live
Brotherhood and charity
Are not part of his plan
He can't see there's a need for
A helping hand
It's not such a long fall from the top
But once you hit rock bottom the falling doesn't stop
The years went by, the tables turned
And both ends of his candle burned
Now he's weak and he's sick, he's old and he's poor
He's not feeling so proud any more
By day he walks the streets alone
By night a park bench is his home
He finds himself without a friend
He wishes that someone would lend
A helping hand
He was never one to give
A helping hand
Had his own life to live
Brotherhood and charity
Were not part of his plan
Now even he can see the need for
A helping hand
