WHY DON'T WE TAKE THE TIME TO CARE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER

WHY IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT WHEN I HEAR THINGS ON THE NEWS. WHY DID THOSE EVENTS HAVE TO HAPPEN AND WHY DID THOSE PEOPLE HAVE TO ACT THAT WAY? I WONDER IF IT'S JUST SIMPLE HUMAN NATURE TO BE NASTY OR EVEN DOWN RIGHT EVIL SOMETIMES TO EACH OTHER. WE SEE PEOPLE EVERYDAY STRUGGLING AND WE JUST WALK PASS THEM, AND SOMETIMES WE CAN EVEN HEAR THEM ASKING FOR HELP AND WE IGNORE THEM. IT TAKES BUT A SECOND TO CARE AND DO SOMETHING, AND I WOULD RATHER TAKE THAT SECOND THEN A LIFETIME OF COULD I HAVE HELPED! HOWEVER I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING THE WORLD HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T JUST HELP. PEOPLE NO LONGER ARE GRATEFUL OR APPRECIATIVE ANYMORE FOR THE THINGS YOU DO. WHY IS IT THAT THE ONLY TIME WE COME TOGETHER IS IN TRAGEDY? WHY IS PEOPLE HAVE TO PASS AWAY OR BE KILLED BEFORE WE SAY I LOVE OR MAKE A CALL? WE LET SO MUCH TIME PASS US AND IT'S NOT PROMISED OR GUARANTEED TO ANYONE OF US. WE TREAT EACH OTHER ANY KIND OF WAY AND NEVER KNOW IF WE CAN TAKE BACK OR APOLOGIZE BEFORE THE DAY IS OUT. WE NEED TO LEARN TO THINK BEFORE WE REACT SOMETIMES EVEN JUST A SIMPLY SMILE TO SOMEONE WALKING BY. MIGHT CHANGE THEIR ENTIRE DAY AND CHANGE THEIR MINDS OF DOING SOMETHING. WORDS ARE NO LONGER JUST WORDS ANYMORE NOW THEY CAN COST YOU YOUR LIFE FOR WHAT A MINOR DISAGREEMENT?

WHY DO WE HATE ON THOSE WHO HAVE BIG DREAMS AND WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OF THEMSELVES? HOW COME WE TAKE PRIDE IN EACH OTHERS DOWNFALL AND SHORT COMINGS? WE NEED TO LEARN THAT WE HAVE TO ENCOURAGE THOSE AROUND US AND SUPPORT EACH OTHERS DREAMS. WHAT HAS HAPPEN TO LOYALTY AND RESPECT NOT ONLY FOR OTHERS BUT OURSELVES, AND THE PRIDE WE AS INDIVIDUALS USE TO HAVE. WOMEN NOW SEEM TO HAVE LOST THE VALUE IN MODESTY AND VIRTUE, AND MEN HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF PRIDE. MEN USE TO STAND TALL AND PROUD AND USE TO HAVE RESPECT FOR WOMEN. NOW A DAYS MEN TREAT WOMEN LIKE OBJECTS AND THAT THEIR INNER AND OUTER IS NOTHING. WHEN DID THE VALUE OF LIFE FALL SO FAR THAT NOW WE CHOOSE WHO IS AND IS NOT WORTHY?


WE NEED TO GO BACK TO A TIME WHEN WE LOOKED OUT FOR EACH OTHER AND HELD UP OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND STOOD TALL WITH THEM. A TIME WHEN WE DID CARE AND WE GOT FACTS FIRST AND DEALT WITH RUMORS SECOND. WERE WE TOOK PEOPLE AT FACE VALUE AND NOT MONEY VALUE. I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE FAIL TO SEE THE CHANGE IN OTHERS AND THE STRIDES THEY ARE MAKING TO BE BETTER. WHY DO WE JUDGE SO MUCH EVEN WITH NO FACTS OR PROOF AT ALL WE JUST SIMPLY JUDGE? MY GRANDMOTHER USE TO SAY " BABY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE AND DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO JUDGE YOU, BUT ONLY GOD HAS THE RIGHT TOO." THEN SHE WOULD SAY " SO YOU STAY SWEET AND YOU SMILE, AND THE HARDER IT GET'S THE BRIGHTER YOUR SMILE. CAUSE THEY CAN'T TAKE WHAT YOU DON'T GIVE THEM." THAT IS SO TRUE WE GIVE PEOPLE THE POWER OVER US EVERY TIME WE LOSE SIGHT OF WHO WE ARE.

I WON'T HARM YOU WITH MY WORDS
I WON'T JUDGE YOU WITH THE HARSHNESS OF THE WORLD
I WILL SUPPORT YOU AND HELP YOU BE A BETTER PERSON
I WILL PICK YOU UP WHEN YOU FALL, STAND BY YOUR SIDE WHEN YOUR ALONE
I'LL BE THAT SMILE AND LAUGHTER WHEN YOUR WORLD IS GREY
I'LL BLOCK THE RAIN AND KEEP YOU OUT OF THE STORM
WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE IF YOU GIVE ME ONE ALSO
RUMORS WON'T ENTERTAIN ME AND LIES WON'T GET PASSED ME
I WON'T LET HARM COME TO YOU NOR WILL YOU LET IT COME TO ME
I WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR AWAY
REPLACE EVERY FROWN WITH A SMILE
I WILL ENCOURAGE YOU
I WILL SUPPORT YOU
I WILL LIGHT YOUR PATH WHEN IT GROWS DARK
I WILL SEE YOUR DREAMS AND THE VISIONS YOU HAVE
AND SUPPORT THEM AS MY OWN
I WILL LOVE YOU AND TAKE CARE OF YOU WHEN NO ONE ELSE WILL
I'LL BE THERE WHEN TIMES ARE HARD
WHEN AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU NEED A FRIEND I'M THERE
I YOUR POSITIVE MANNER WHEN NEGATIVITY COMES CLOSE
I CAN AND WILL CRY WITH YOU
THE ANGLES WILL SING SONGS OF JOY
AND THE SUN WILL SHINE BRIGHTER THEN EVER
IF WE COULD STOP THE HATE
STOP THE LIES
STOP DESTROYING EACH OTHER
LOOK UP AND REALIZE THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY
I NEED YOU AS MUCH AS YOU NEED ME
I WON'T HARM YOU CAUSE YOU DON'T HARM ME
I'M YOUR SMILE CAUSE YOUR MINE
I'M THAT BANDAGE TO YOUR WOUNDS AS YOU ARE MINE
IT TAKES A SECOND TO SMILE AND MAKE SOMEONE LAUGH
BUT
IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO WONDER WHY YOU DIDN'T HELP
I CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY THAT WHEN I PRAY THE ANGLES PRAY
FOR PEACE , LOVE AND MERCY
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO THINK
TAKE TIME TO ACT
BUT ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO CARE
SECOND CHANCES SHOULD BE GIVEN WHEN ASKED FOR
CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MIGHT NEED ONE
