If I can help somebody as I travel along If I can cheer somebody with a word or song If I can shelter somebody whose far away from home
Then my living shall not be in vain Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can be a person, like a person If I can spread love’s message, which is “Learn, but also taught” If I can nurture someone in this world up wrought
Then my living shall not be in vain Then my living shall not be in vain Then my living shall not be in vain
