[Verse]
If I can help somebody as I pass along
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song
If I can show somebody he is traveling wrong
Then my living shall not be in vain

[Chorus]
My living shall not be in vain
My living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody as I pass along
Then my living shall not be in vain

[Chorus]
Yes, my living shall not be in vain
Then my living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody as I pass along
My living shall not be in vain
Yes, my living shall not be in vain
