Give Me A Hand Up My Brother

It's about charity

Say, could you give me 

A little hand here?

I’m near the end 

Of my rope

The world all around me

Seems to want to disown me

I’m down and 

Near out of hope

I don’t ask for much

Just a kind caring touch

Just a modicum of charity

A bit of warmhearted mercy

So please don’t pass me by

With cold averted eye

For it’s only by a twist of fate

It could well be you in my place

I may be down and out

But remember my friend

(have no doubt)

We’re both family members

…Of the whole Human race…
