I don't know why everybody rushes by
Not looking at the world we're living in.
I don't know why few ever take the time
To really open up their eyes to see.
By the wayside there are people
Determined to survive
If only we can give a part of our blessed lives

Learn to care
Learn to play our part
Everything we say or do
Must come right from the heart
Learn to care
Indeed we'll not know when
'Cause any time we may need
A warm and friendly hand

Try to see
Try to look and you will find
That generous spirit waiting to be freed
Try to feel
Just try to understand
There's someone somewhere yearning to be free
Along the lonely by ways
That seem to wind and turn
People trudge with weary mind
On a trip of no return
