Do Something

10 oOmeLnlHg
Do something for somebody, some
where,
While jogging along life's road;
Help someone to carry their burden,
And lighter will grow your load.
Do something for somebody gladly,
Twill tighten your every care;
In sharing the sorrows of others,
Your own are less hard to bear.
Do something for somebody, striving
To help where the way seems long;
And the homeless hearts that languish
Cheer up with little song.
Do something for somebody always,
Whatever may be your creed
There's nothing on earth can help you
So much as kindly deed.
