In this land of milk and honey
That we call the USA
There are children who are too sick
To go outside and play
So in the time of darkness
With a heavy load to bear
We can all join hands
To show how much we care

So raise a hand for healing
It's a hand that understands
There's a time for reaching out
Cause they're just like you and me
So let's all raise a hand for healing

From the california coastline
To your old kentucky home
These children can't eat hotdogs
Or have an ice cream cone (ice cream cone)
They dream of running outside
In the warming summer sun
And it can happen if you listen to this song

So raise a hand for healing
It's a hand that understands
There's a time for reaching out
Cause they're just like you and me
So let's all raise a hand for healing

So raise a hand for healing
It's a hand that understands
There's a time for reaching out
Cause they're just like you and me
So let's all raise a hand
For healing
