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
