The Staple Singers - Give A Hand, Take A Hand Lyrics

The Staple Singers Lyrics

"Give A Hand, Take A Hand"

I wish the world was run by little children
We could be happy once again
And we won't hurt when we're like little children
We won't ever feel the pain

When my fight for life on earth is over
And I leave 'cause I can't stay
Just let the world
Let it keep, let it keep right on living
And we'll all join hands another day

Everybody's got to give a hand
Everybody's got to take a hand
Everybody's got to fall in love
To make everybody understand

I wish they'd help
The ones that know the answer
The old stand down
And the young stand free, yes
Well I, then let the world keep
Let it keep right on living
And we'll all join hands and heal

Everybody's got to give a hand
Everybody's got to take a hand
Everybody's got to fall in love
To make everybody understand

Everybody's got to give a hand
Everybody's got to take a hand
Everybody's got to fall in love
To make everybody understand
