Take the Time Out

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Lying out on the street, there's a manThat needs somewhere to sleepAnd a bag-lady digs, through the trashHoping to find some food to eatIn the cold winter's snow, walks a boyThat needs shoes for his feetIn an old run-down house, there's a childIn a crib that needs some heatIn the dark of the night, a young manSearches for a guiding lightAnd a young woman cries in despairCause she feels alone in lifeYou might ask yourself what in the hellDoes that have to do with meWell, here is your wake up call..."Everything!"Cause we all play a part in each other's existenceTake the time out to love someoneReach your arms out and hug someoneBe it king or some homeless oneWe are all one underneath the sunTake the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someoneThere's a man in a house where they're selling crackYet he's trying to be strongBut when lost in the sea, of no hopeHe must be saved from wrongDon't say what you won't do, if for daysYou had no food to eatNor extremes you won't go, for a bed, shoesOr if your baby needed heatYou do not have the right to pre-judgeIf you don't share your strengthAnd you can't say you're down for the fightIf you won't go the lengthNow I don't really care what you feelIf you don't feel for lifeAnd don't care what you think if your wordsDon't have ways and actions that perpetuate lifeTake the time out to love someoneReach your arms out and hug someoneBe it king or some homeless oneWe are all one underneath the sunTake the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someone(Repeat)I think it's time to...Take the time out to love someoneReach your arms out and hug someoneBe it king or some homeless oneWe are all one underneath the sunTake the time out to be right thereTake the time out to show you careYou'll be so glad when the day is doneYou took the time out to love someone(Repeat)
