Lyrics

Look all around you, find someone in need,
Help somebody today!
Though it be little—a neighborly deed—
Help somebody today!

Refrain

Help somebody today,
Somebody along life’s way;
Let sorrow be ended,
The friendless befriended,
O help somebody today!

Many are waiting a kind, loving word,
Help somebody today!
Thou hast a message, O let it be heard,
Help somebody today!

Refrain

Many have burdens too heavy to bear,
Help somebody today!
Grief is the portion of some ev­ery­where,
Help somebody today!

Refrain

Some are discouraged and weary in heart,
Help somebody today!
Someone the journey to Hea­ven should start,
Help somebody today!

Refrain
