Take The Time To Look

from Aguas Profundas by Simon Hudson

/

lyrics

Sitting on a stairwell, in the early morning scene
A long way from home, or so it seems to me
A couple shuffles by, he’s ten paces ahead
And I wonder did they just fight?
Or do they just prefer it that way instead?

A man puts oil into his car, and it barely starts
He has to get to work, with such an early start
Everyone is hoping, for another chance
No one knows the reason, why they just can not make it last

Why don’t we take the time to look
To look around at what is there, we never write that book
Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are
Otherwise each day is just the same

Sitting on an airplane, high above the earth
All around are different, folk from different worlds
Each of us a mystery, who knows what we share
Some things we will never know, some things we just don’t dare

Why don’t we take the time to look
To look around at what is there, we never write that book
Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are
Otherwise each day is just the same

There’s a place you can go
If you’re down and out or full of fear
It’ll draw you close and hold you near
There’s a time we hold dear
The time to tell your family
Just how you feel and make it clear
Otherwise each day
Otherwise each day
Otherwise each day is just the same, same

Why don’t we take the time to look
Look around at what is there, we never write that book
Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are
Otherwise each day is just the same, same

Why don’t we take the time to look
We never write that book
Why don’t we take the time to look at who we are
Otherwise each day is just the same
