Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I can help somebody as they pass along If I can cheer somebody with a word or song If I can show somebody that their travelling wrong Then my living will not be in vain If I can do my duty as a Christian or If I should sing salvation to the world we rort If I can spread the message as the master taught Then my living will not be in vain [Verse 2] Well it really doesn't matter, most of the deed's I have done It really doesn't matter, the prizes I may have won I'd like for somebody to say I've tried to love someone When I have to leave my day And the crawl for justice, I have somebody run And the walk for the hungry, I fed someone And in the march for peace tell them I played the drum When I have to meet my day And the crawl for justice, I helped somebody run And the walk for the hungry, I fed someone And in the march for peace tell them I played the drum When I have to meet my day
