If I Can Help Somebody ====================== w&m: Alma Bazel Androzzo, 1945 Meter: 12.12.12.9.9.9.12.9. [Verse 1] 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 trav'ling wrong, Then my living shall not be in vain. [Refrain] Then my living shall not be in vain, Then my living shall not be in vain; If I can help somebody as I pass along, Then my living shall not be in vain. [Verse 2] If I can do my duty as a good man ought, If I can bring back beauty to a world up wrought, If I can spread love's message that the Master taught, Then my living shall not be in vain. [Refrain]
