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 all the 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 to what is real
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

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
