Lend a Hand

A child somewhere is freezing out in the cold night,
A child somewhere is fighting a war like a knight,
Ah! everywhere are helpless children without light,
Let’s give help and for a child lend a hand.

No more heartaches and sleepless nights,
No more heartbreaks and endless fights,
Oh! for heaven’s sake, let’s do things right,
We could build a better world for every child.

There won’t be any fear of pain,
There won’t be any tears in the rain,
When we aid a child, we’ll get the gain,
You can get involved today and lend a hand.
