Stevie Wonder - Take The Time Out текст песни

Lying out on the street, theres a man

That needs somewhere to sleep

And a bag-lady digs, through the trash

Hoping to find some food to eat

In the cold winters snow, walks a boy

That needs shoes for his feet

In an old run-down house, theres a child

In a crib that needs some heat

In the dark of the night, a young man

Searches for a guiding light

And a young woman cries in despair

Cause she feels alone in life

You might ask yourself what in the hell

Does that have to do with me

Well, here is your wake up call...

"everything!"

Cause we all play a part in each others existence

Take the time out to love someone

Reach your arms out and hug someone

Be it king or some homeless one

We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there

Take the time out to show you care

Youll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

Theres a man in a house where theyre selling crack

Yet hes trying to be strong

But when lost in the sea, of no hope

He must be saved from wrong

Dont say what you wont do, if for days

You had no food to eat

Nor extremes you wont go, for a bed, shoes

Or if your baby needed heat

You do not have the right to pre-judge

If you dont share your strength

And you cant say youre down for the fight

If you wont go the length

Now I dont really care what you feel

If you dont feel for life

And dont care what you think if your words

Dont have ways and actions that perpetuate life

Take the time out to love someone

Reach your arms out and hug someone

Be it king or some homeless one

We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there

Take the time out to show you care

Youll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

(repeat)

I think its time to...

Take the time out to love someone

Reach your arms out and hug someone

Be it king or some homeless one

We are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there

Take the time out to show you care

Youll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

(repeat)
