A friend came to me, sadness in his eyes
Told me that he wanted help for his country dying
Although I couldn't feel the pain, I knew I had to try
Now I'm asking all of you to help us save some lives
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
For so many people are dying fast
It sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
I want you to lend your hand, try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Such a great disaster, I don't understand
But it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Please don't trail away, I wanna hear you say
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Now it may seem so far from where we are
It's something we can't reject
It's something I can't neglect
I want you to give some bread for each starving head
We've got to relieve Bangladesh
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
We've got to relieve Bangladesh
I want you to lend your hand and understand
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
For so many people are dying fast
It sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
I want you to lend your hand, try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
For so many people are dying fast
It sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
I want you to lend your hand, try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
