Lyrics
Take The Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You can turn around and walk away
Tell yourself there's nothing here to see
Try so hard to look the other way
As if you haven't noticed anything
Do it to the least of these
Do it to me
You gotta take the time
You gotta take the time
Shallow is the voice of no concern
Running through the bridges that we've burned
You can't even feel your own demise
So how can you pretend to lead the blind
I'm the hungry and the weak
Can you even see me
I'm the stranger all alone
Won't you welcome me home
I'm the naked and ashamed
Won't you look my way
You gotta take the time
You gotta take, take, take
Take the time
