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,
That there's more going on,
Than what these eyes can see

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
