A HUMAN TOUCH

You can call it a decision
I say it's how we're made
There's no point in shouting from your island
Proclaiming only Jesus saves
There will always be suffering
There will always be pain
But because of it there will always be love
And love we know it will remain

Everybody gets lonely
Feel like it's all too much
Reaching out for some connection
Or maybe just their own reflection
Not everybody finds it
Not like the two of us
Sometimes all anybody needs is a human touch

Everybody wants a holiday
Everybody wants to feel the sun
Get outside and run around
Live like they're forever young
Everybody wants to be beautiful
And live life their own way
No one ever wants to let it go
No matter what they do or say

Everybody gets lonely
Feel like it's all too much
Reaching out for some connection
Or maybe it's just their own reflection
Not everybody finds it
Not like the two of us
Sometimes all anybody needs is a human touch
