Each of us has come here
With a story of our own
But we wait in restless silence
So no one ever knowsThere is one who sits in loneliness
On the edge of despair
While another person longs to love
With so much life to shareSomeone cannot feel the warmth of love
Through a wall that's built with time
Being burned so often
Makes the heart as cold as iceThere's somebody hurting
From a wound that doesn't heal
And the touch of human hands
Could bring a comfort that is realWhich one are you
Which one are you near
Can you reach across the emptiness
Can you grasp the heart of someone hereTake 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 timeWe come from different places
And the pain has different names
With different circumstances
But the feelings are the sameIf we let down our defenses
And we tear down all the walls
In the center of our souls we find
No differences at allWhich one are you
Which one are you near
Can you reach across the emptiness
Can you grasp the heart of someone hereTake 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 timeThere's a time when only you will know
When the Spirit speaks within your soul
Dare to reach beyond yourself and let love goOh, 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, takeTake 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, takeTake 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, takeOh, take the time to love somebody
Oh, take the time to show someone you care
