Each of us has come here With a story of our own But we wait in restless silence So no one ever knows There is one who sits in loneliness On the edge of despair While another person longs to love With so much life to share Someone cannot feel the warmth of love Through a wall that's built with time Being burned so often Makes the heart as cold as ice There's somebody hurting From a wound that doesn't heal And the touch of human hands Could bring a comfort that is real Which one are you Which one are you near Can you reach across the emptiness Can you grasp the heart of someone here Take the time to love somebody Oh, take the time to show someone you care Will you have another chance to be An answer to a prayer, take the time We come from different places And the pain has different names With different circumstances But the feelings are the same If we let down our defenses And we tear down all the walls In the center of our souls we find No differences at all Which one are you Which one are you near Can you reach across the emptiness Can you grasp the heart of someone here Take the time to love somebody Oh, take the time to show someone you care Will you have another chance to be An answer to a prayer, take the time There's a time when only you will know When the Spirit speaks within your soul Dare to reach beyond yourself and let love go Oh, take the time to love somebody Oh, take the time, hey, to show someone you care Will you have another chance to be An answer to a prayer, take Take the time to love somebody Oh, take the time to show someone you care Will you have another chance to be An answer to a prayer, take Take the time to love somebody Come on and take the time Show someone you care Will you have another chance to be An answer to a prayer, take Oh, take the time to love somebody Oh, take the time to show someone you care
