Take The Time Out (Album Version)

Take The Time Out (Album Version) - Stevie Wonder (史提夫·汪達)

Written by：Stevie Wonder

Lying out on the street there's 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 winter's snow walks a boy

That needs shoes for his feet

In an old run down house there's 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

Because 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

Because we all play a part in each other's 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

You'll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

There's a man in a house where they're selling crack

Yet he's trying to be strong

But when lost in the sea of no hope

He must be saved from wrong

Don't say what you won't do if for days

You had no food to eat

Nor extremes you won't go for a bed shoes

Or if your baby needed heat

You do not have the right to pre judge

If you don't share your strength

And you can't say you're down for the fight

If you won't go the length

Now I don't really care what you feel

If you don't feel for life

And don't care what you think if your words

Don't 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

You'll be so glad when the day is done

Take the time out to love someone

I think it's 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

You'll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

Take the time

Take the time out to love someone

Reach your arms out and hug someone

Be it king or some homeless one

We we are all one underneath the sun

Take the time out to be right there

Take the time out to show you care

You'll be so glad when the day is done

You took the time out to love someone

You took the time out to love someone
