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
