Just a little hand can be a great big help
It can make a big difference
And there`s a better plan than to do this ourselves
There is another point of reference and
I`ve never known an island
and I`ve never seen it work that way
I`ve come to understand
We do the best we can
But everybody needs a little hand
Just and little hand can go a long long way
And there`s no shame in askin` and yes
No matter what they do
Or what they say
You can`t live without a little tenderness
There`s always gifts of kindness
And there`s always little acts of bravery
I`ve come to understand
We do the best we can
But everybody needs a little hand
So call if your ever alone or down
And you need someone to be around
Just call
Just a little hand can be a great big help
It can make all the difference
And there`s no reason to doubt
There is no story or fiction here, and
I`ve never known an island, and
I`ve never seen it work that way
I`ve come to understand
We do the best we can
But everybody needs a little hand
So call if your ever alone or down
And you need someone to be around
I`ve come to understand
We do the best we can
But everybody needs a little hand
Just a little hand
