Seth Lakeman - Lend a Hand Lyrics

Many changes I have seen
Over lands that I have been
I've learnt to be patient in my time
I've travelled far and wide, I've waited time and tide
I've reached the mountain top I meant to climb

I've carried each burden as far as I can
Change only comes when we all lend a hand

Never in all my years, has a kind man to me appeared
Thriving, contented with his gold
And the wealth that he adores, leaves him broken, lying on the floor
Without a friend to shield him from the cold

Carry your burdens as far as you can
A change only comes when we all lend a hand

Many people I have seen
I've struggled hard, to believe
That money can keep all sorrow from your door
Or that wisdom old and wise, in its own or other's eyes
Cuts right through the heart and to the core

Carry your burdens as far as you can
A change only comes when we all lend a hand
Carry your burdens as far as you can
A change only comes when we all lend a hand
We all lend a hand
