Lyrics
Give the Man a Hand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Reading lots of books, trying to find an answer
An answer pertaining to the questions in his mind.
Running all around, caught in the web of the mystery of life.
Trying to find a reason for all the pain that he feels.
What can we do for him (can you do?)
What can we do for him (what can you do?)
You could give the man a hand, and help him see that he's wanted
Try and help him understand his life is one that's meant for joy.
See him with your eyes, picking up packages on the corner.
Lonely man, walking along singing a song for no one.
No one wants to try and understand.
Can't you see he's stuck in a jam?
Step up and give the man a hand
Help him see that he's wanted
Try and help him understand his life is one that's meant for joy.
Give him a hand
Give the man a hand, help him see that he's wanted.
What can you do for him?
Give the man a hand, help him see that he's wanted (sing the song)
