|
When a man has got the blues and feels discouraged |
|
And has nothing else but trouble all his life |
|
But he's just an honest man like any other |
|
Living in a world that's tearing at his mind |
|
If he's sick and tired of life and takes to drinking |
|
Do not pass him by, don't greet him with a frown |
|
Do not fail to lend your hand and try to help him |
|
Always lift him up and never knock him down |
|
If he stays out late at night because he's troubled |
|
Or because his home is not what it should be |
|
Have a smile for him wherever you might meet him |
|
It will help him find the right way, don't you see? |
|
If he gambles when he's in the town or city |
|
Tell him what he ought to do to win the round |
|
Do not fail to lend your hand and show him pity |
|
Always lift him up and never knock him down |
|
If he has no friends and everything's against him |
|
If he's failed in everything that he has tried |
|
Try to lift his load and help him bear his burden |
|
Let him know that you are walking by his side |
|
If he feels that all is lost and he has fallen |
|
Help to place this poor man's feet on solid ground |
|
And when this world has turned its back against him |
|
Always lift him up and never knock him down |
