Lyrics
Help me to help my neighbor
Help me to understand
Help me to hear the pleading
Of an out-stretched, empty hand
Help me to do to others
As I’d have them do to me
Help me to help my neighbor
Whatever his faith may be
Help me to see a heavy heart
Behind a smiling face
Help me to judge as I’d be judged
If I were in his place
The night is dark
And the way is long
On a road that has no end
Help me to help my neighbor
Help me to be his friend
