Hand in hand, one by one

Every man and woman come

To a place and a certain state of mind

And we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

In due season, pass it on

Love is a reason to pass it on

Cuz you never know when the boiler’s gonna blow

And we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

Said we’re all gonna need, all gonna need

All gonna need it by and by

Cuz you never know when the boiler’s gonna blow

And we’re all gonna need somebody, all gonna need somebody

Said we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

Mothers to daughters pass it on

Fathers to sons pass it on

Cuz it ain’t no crime to give others peace of mind

And we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

Said we’re all gonna need, all gonna need, all gonna need it by and by

Cuz you never know when the boiler’s gonna blow

And we’re all gonna need somebody, all gonna need somebody

Said we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

What you plant is what will grow

You’re gonna reap just what you so

And you’re gonna find that it’s cooler to be kind

And we’re all gonna need somebody sometime

 

Said we’re all gonna need, all gonna need, all gonna need it by and by

Cuz you never know when the boiler’s gonna blow

And we’re all gonna need somebody, all gonna need somebody

Said we’re all gonna need somebody sometime
