**ohh it's a shame
I'ts a shame it's a shame
The flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
The flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Love is dyin' today
Somebody fan the fire
The flame of love is dyin' i say
We gonna fan the fire, come on along
Little children starving in a foreign land,
Talk about it brother
Man afraid to shake his brother's hand
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Woman in trouble callin' but nobody cares
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
People denied the rights that are truly
Theirs
(it's a shame)

*i believe i believe
(i believe i believe)
I believe i believe
(i believe i believe)
I believe the flame of love is about to die
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
I believe the flame of love is about to die

The flame of love is about to die
Somebody fan the fire
Flame of love is about to die
We're gonna fan the fire, come on along.
Violence striking down great men of peace
Poverty in the homes and crime in the streets
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Kind-hearted people turnin' to hate
(fan the fire, fan the fire)
Man's about to destroy the human race
(it's a shame)

(*repeat)
(it's a shame)
(* * repeat)
I believe the flame of love is about to die

We're goin' round
Tryin' to get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
We're goin' round
Tryin' to get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire

Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey y'all

The moment of truth is near
And my body trembles with fear
Just like you i'm a guilty one
Thinkin' bout nothin' but havin'
Me some fun

Time's drawing now no place to hide
Hide hide hide hide.

We're goin' round
Tryin' to get higher
Better come down
There's gonna be a fire
We're goin' round
Tryin' to get higher
Better come down
Gonna be a fire.

Smother that, hey
Smother that, hey y'all
We all got to do our part
Lend a hand and open up your heart
It's all up to me and you
We gotta get ready for the moment of truth.

Come on down, come on down,
Come on down
Come on down, come on down
Come on down

In this new world
The world of today
Now you might think
That the world has changed
But boy meets girl
Same as before
And they vow their love forever more
In this world today.

In this new world
Of troubled times
Just you look back
And i'm sure you'll find
Man fighting man
For no cause at all
And though it is wrong
The fighting goes on
In this world today.

Why do you say
We're in a different bag
When all the things you did
Were just as bad.

In this new world
Of suffering
Love, peace of mind
Should be our thing
Let man join hands
The old and the young
And let every heart
Now beat as one
In this world today.

Love, peace of mind should be our thing
Love, peace of mind should be our thing
Love, peace of mind should be our thing.

No man should have face to face
His problems alone, alone, alone
Reach out and help the weak man
Make him strong, strong, strong
Now i want to help somebody
I'd like to help you, you, you
Now don't that make you want to
Help somebody too, too, too

*the love you give
Might help somebody live
So give yourself
Go out and help somebody else
Your helping hand
Will make you a better man
Do wah, do way, let love prevail
Reach out and help somebody
Reach out and help somebody

If we all stand together
We'll all stand tall, tall, tall
We wouldn't let each other
Tumble and fall, fall, fall
Now let's reach down together
And lift somebody up, up, up
Give a little love and kindness
It won't take much, much, much

(*repeat)

Reach out your hand and help somebody today
