Lyrics
Verse 1: Lost in my illusions, the world that might be
Silver linings spring days, people strong and free
I wake up every new day, I hope light will shine
On those who brave this hardship
To help ease their minds
But clouds block out the sunshine
Joy turns to despair
As those in pain and desperation
Cry out in prayer
Chorus: Take the time to care, take the time to care
Take the time to care, take the time to care
Even just a little bit
To let them know we are there
Take the time to care, take the time to care
Verse 2: We can build this new day, cause the light to shine
On those suffering this hardship, let’s give them a sign
Contact leads to pain, help break the chain
Open up your heart
And compassion wins the game
Clouds block out the sunshine
Joy turns to despair
As those in pain and desperation
Cry out in prayer
Chorus:
Verse 3: If we all just do our part, help break the chain
Together we can shine that light
Staying inside
If we all just do our part, help break the chain
Together we can shine that light
Staying inside, staying inside
Chorus:
