My friend came to me With sadness in his eyes He 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
Bangladesh, Bangladesh 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 and 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
Now please don't turn away I want to hear you say Relieve the people of Bangladesh Relieve Bangladesh
Bangladesh, Bangladesh Now it may seem so far from where we all are It's something we can't reject It's something I can't neglect
Now won't you give some bread to get the starving fed? We've got to relieve Bangladesh Relieve the people of Bangladesh We've got to relieve Bangladesh Relieve the people of Bangladesh
