Give Them a Lift

1 While going onward thru life,
with all its troubles and strife
You'll find many souls who've wandered far astray;
Don't laugh and jeer at their plight,
but lead them into the light
Just give them a life, 'twill help them on their way.

Refrain:
Just give them a lift
Don't push them farther down,
A smile any day better than a frown;
A pat on the back, a good word of cheer,
Will lighten their load, while traveling here
Just give them a lift
'twill help them on their way.

2 We see lost souls in despair, and
burdened heavy with care,
From shore they are drifting farther every day;
Don't turn deaf ears to their plea,
tho' some may leperous be,
Just give them a lift, 'twill help
them on their way. [Refrain]
