My friend came to me with sadness in his eyes
told me that he wanted help before his country dies
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
Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh
where so many people are dying fast
and it sure looks like a mess
I've never seen such distress
Now
won't you lend your hand
try to understand
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh
such a great desaster
I don't understand
but it sure looks like a mess
I've never known such distress
Now
please don't turn away
I wanna hear you say
relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Relieve the people of Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh
Bangla Desh
now it may seem so far from where we all are
It's something we can't reject
that suff'ring I can't neglect
Now
won't you give some bread
get the starving fed
We've got to relieve Bangla Desh
