Give a Lift

Give A Lift By Curtis Johnson So you are aware of a need Are you prepared for the deed? So you want to reach out and help Are you prepared to go the depth So you want to do all you can But do you have any kind of plan? To help someone in need is more than a notion And it requires more than a tear drop of emotion It helps to say a little prayer, and have lots of devotion There’s a hungry person simply trying to live But your pockets reveal you have nothing to give He stands there, hot and tired, cold and hungry He has a cardboard sign, constantly looking out It’s not our job to decide if he’s looking for handouts He needs a little help, a little hope, a little hand up All she wanted was just a little change, Just a little love to relieve her pain Cj070115
