I pray that someone will remember
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by
Oh, doesn't anybody see me here
Don't pass me by, don't pass me by

So i'm a little behind the race,
As long as i can place it's alright
Before you walk you've got to stand,
Just take me by the hand and lead me home

Are you your brother's keeper
Don't pass him by, don't pass him by
As you've given so you shall receive
Don't pass him by, don't pass him by

So he's a little behind the race,
As long as he can place it's alright
Before he walks he's got to stand,
Just take him by the hand and lead him home

Your faith must live, proven by what you will give
The last shall be first, water for all who thirst

So much pain and so much sorrow
Don't pass them by, don't pass them by
Who can turn and look the other way
Don't pass them by, don't pass them by

So they're a little behind the race,
As long as they can place it's alright
Before they walk they've got to stand,
Just take them by the hand and lead them home,
Lead my people home
