[Verse 1]
I can see indifference is the sign of the times
Seems to me compassion's gettin' harder to find
But if everyone would help just one and that one helps another one along
Like a fire that's burning low every log would make it grow, so pass it on

[Chorus]
Pass it on to a brother who may need a helping hand
Pass it on to a sister it may give her strength to stand
Love and kindness make a flame known by many different names
So pass it on, pass it on, pass it on

[Verse 2]
People say I'd like to help but I can't get involved
And anyway I've got problems of my own I haven't solved
Someday when we learn that no-one's strong enough to make it on their own
I just hope there's someone there who will take the time to care and pass it on

[Chorus]
Pass it on to a brother who may need a helping hand
Pass it on to a sister it may give her strength to stand
Love and kindness make a flame known by many different names
So pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
Pass it on, pass it on, pass it on
