If nobody smiled

and nobody cared

and nobody helped us along.




If every moment

looked after itself and

good things always

went to the strong;




If nobody thought

just a little about you

and nobody cared about me,

and we stood all alone,

in the battle of life,




What a dreary old world

this would be.

Life is sweet, just because,

of friends we have made and

the things which in common we share.




We want to live on,

not because of ourselves,

but because of the people who care.

It is doing and giving

for somebody else

on which all of life's splendor depends.




The joy of this world,

when you've summed it all up

is found in the making of friends.
