Lying out on the street, there's a man
|
That needs somewhere to sleep
|
And a bag-lady digs, through the trash
|
Hoping to find some food to eat
|
In the cold winter's snow, walks a boy
|
That needs shoes for his feet
|
In an old run-down house, there's a child
|
In a crib that needs some heat
|
In the dark of the night, a young man
|
Searches for a guiding light
|
And a young woman cries in despair
|
Cause she feels alone in life
|
You might ask yourself what in the hell
|
Does that have to do with me
|
Well, here is your wake up call...
|
"Everything!"
|
Cause we all play a part in each other's existence
|
|
Take the time out to love someone
|
Reach your arms out and hug someone
|
Be it king or some homeless one
|
We are all one underneath the sun
|
|
Take the time out to be right there
|
Take the time out to show you care
|
You'll be so glad when the day is done
|
You took the time out to love someone
|
|
There's a man in a house where they're selling crack
|
Yet he's trying to be strong
|
But when lost in the sea, of no hope
|
He must be saved from wrong
|
Don't say what you won't do, if for days
|
You had no food to eat
|
Nor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoes
|
Or if your baby needed heat
|
You do not have the right to pre-judge
|
|
If you don't share your strength
|
|
And you can't say you're down for the fight
|
If you won't go the length
|
Now I don't really care what you feel
|
If you don't feel for life
|
And don't care what you think if your words
|
Don't have ways and actions that perpetuate life
|
|
Take the time out to love someone
|
Reach your arms out and hug someone
|
Be it king or some homeless one
|
We are all one underneath the sun
|
|
Take the time out to be right there
|
Take the time out to show you care
|
You'll be so glad when the day is done
|
You took the time out to love someone
|
[Repeat]
|
|
I think it's time to...
|
|
Take the time out to love someone
|
Reach your arms out and hug someone
|
Be it king or some homeless one
|
We are all one underneath the sun
|
|
Take the time out to be right there
|
Take the time out to show you care
|
You'll be so glad when the day is done
|
You took the time out to love someone
|
[Repeat]
