If I Can Help Somebody

If I can help somebody as I pass along

If I can cheer somebody with a word or a song

If I can show somebody he is travelling wrong

Then my living shall not be in vain

Then my living shall not be in vain

Then my living shall not be in vain

If I can help somebody as I pass along

Then my living shall not be in vain

If I can do my duty as a Christian oft

If I can bring back beauty to a world up wrought

If I can spread love's message that the Master taught

Then my living shall not be in vain

Then my living shall not be in vain

Then my living shall not be in vain

If I can help somebody as I pass along

Then my living shall not be in vain
