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
