Helping Hand - Buju Banton

Don’t you know it takes one hand to wash the other

If you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

The spirit of Jah, may not always strive with man

If you should see your brother falling, help him if you can

And it doesn’t matter how small, it’s never too little to share, no

And what does it take from your pride, to show someone that you care?

Oh

A friend is a person or someone, who is always near

Who can feel your joy and know your pain

And know all the troubles you bear

Don’t you know it takes one hand to wash the other

If you should see your brother falling, help him if you can

The spirit of Jah, may not always strive with man

If you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

There were days when the food and the shelter was just not there, no

(No)

And my family and friends, they just would not hear my belly pain

If I should contemplate the alternative, is only shame, so I remain

I have no one to talk to and to whom shall I complain?

How dare another man grudge you, for your earthly gain?

I rather teach someone to fish, than give them one, nah

Yes a little bit a charity sure’s carry a long, aye

(Just a little bit a charity)

But don’t you know it takes one hand to wash the other

If you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

The spirit of Jah, may not always strive with man

If you should see your sister falling, help her if you can

If you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

If you should see your sister falling, help her if you can

It doesn’t matter how much, it’s never too little to share, no

And what does it take from your pride, to show someone that you care?

Lord

A friend is a person or someone, who is always near

Who can share your joy and share your pain

And all the troubles you bear

Don’t you know it takes one hand to wash the other

If you should see your brother falling, help him if you can

The spirit of Jah, may not always strive with man

If you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

And if you should see your sister falling, help her if you can

And if you should see your brother falling, lend a helping hand

And if you should see your sister falling (Help her if you can)

Just help her if you can
