In a world so vast, yet so small

Where shadows linger, where some may fall

There lies a truth, so simple, so grand

That we are all bound by a human hand.

A hand to lift, to guide, to mend

A hand to be a stranger's friend.

For in the heart, where love resides

Humanity's light forever abides.

When the road is dark, and hope is thin

A helping hand is where we begin.

To share a smile, to dry a tear

To stand with courage, to banish fear.

In every act of kindness shown

In every seed of love we've sown

We find the strength, the will to be

A beacon of hope, a soul set free.

So let us not forget, nor turn away

From those in need, who strive each day.

For in their eyes, we see the truth

That humanity's gift is our lasting proof.

Be the hand that reaches out

Be the heart that casts away doubt.

In every moment, big or small

Let your humanity answer the call.

For in this world, where we all belong

A helping hand can right the wrong.

So rise above, and take your stand

Be the light, the love, the helping hand.
