[Verse 1]
If I can help somebody as I travel along
If I can help somebody in a word or a song
If I can help somebody from doing wrong
No, my living shall not be in vain

[Verse 2]
No, my living shall not be in vain
No, my living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody while I'm singing this song
You know my living shall not be in vain
