If I can help somebody, as I pass along
If I can cheer somebody, with a word or song
If I can show somebody, that he's travelling wrong
Then my living shall not be in vain
My living shall not be in vain
Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody, as I pass along
Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can do my duty, as a good man ought
If I can bring back beauty, to a world up wrought
If I can spread love's message, as the Master taught
Then my living shall not be in vain
My living shall not be in vain
Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody, as I pass along
Then my living shall not be in vain
