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.
