Take a Little Time

I picture all the things that I have seen

All the broken hearts and tainted memories

All I see are

all these needs.

I'm tired of my selfish tragedies.

It's time that we show

The hope that we all know.

And

take just a little time

To give your hand

See the world

And take just a little time and try to understand

That there's more going on

Than what these eyes can see.

I came across this torn down empty street.

How helpless that I felt

A burning urgency

And all I see in front of me

Are all the faces fading from this vacant scene.

It's time that we show

The hope that we all know.

And take just a little time

To give your hand

See the world

And take just a little time and try to understand

That there's more going on

Than what these eyes can see.

I know it all seems complicated

There's nothing more that could be stated

Now

is the time to kneel

Reaching out to what is real

So many times I've hesitated

How much I feel my heart is aching

now.

Ohh

now.

And take just a little time

To give your hand.

Take just a little time

To give your hand

See the world

And take just a little time and try to understand

That there's more going on

Than what these eyes can see.
