Take a Little Time

I picture all the things that I have seen
All the broken hearts and tainted memories
And 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
This burning urgency
And all I see in front of me
Are 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

I know it all seems complicated
There's nothing more that could be stated
Now is the time to kneel
Reaching out for what is real
So many times I've hesitated
How much I feel my heart is aching now
Oh, 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
