There's a narrow window op'ning
Just a diff'rent point of view
Time to look around you
Gotta lot of work to do
- Called bein' human
Called won't you lend a helpin' hand?
And maybe it's old-fashioned
But people, people, people
They're a dime a dozen there
But ain't no tents in Pakistan
Just the cold night winter's air
Tsunami came and went I'm told
Rita, Wilma, Katrina too
Iran wants to blow the Jews away
Iraq's like a Viet Nam zoo
- Called bein' human
Called won't you lend a helpin' hand?
And maybe it's old-fashioned
But people, people, people
And some aid for lots of Aids
China's comin' on strong they say
But the piper's gotta be paid
The Christians hate the Muslims
The Muslims hate the Jews
The White Sox beat the Astros
But we gotta pay our dues
- Called bein' human
Called won't you lend a helpin' hand?
And maybe it's old-fashioned
But people, people, people
An' their folks feast on more than bread
Well maybe it's time for a Gandhi
Time to fast instead
And I hear the cry of the children
And I can't shut out their pain
Time take the blind fold off
Be human once again
- Called bein' human
Called won't you lend a helpin' hand?
And maybe it's old-fashioned
Yeah, maybe it's old-fashioned
But people, people, people
Maybe it's time to be human once again
