Dare To Care

Dare to care for those who are hungry and have nothing to eat
Dare to care for the people who are homeless and living on the street
Dare to care for that sick person who won't get well
Dare to care about the youths who have made their home inside a cell
Dare to care about the battered wife who feels he loves me when he hits me,
she never knew what it was like to have real love, the only love she knows
is through the pain of a glove.

Dare to care for the baby who was born with aids, you see the mother fell for every
 guy she met at a glance and now because of her negligence this innocent baby
hasn't been given a chance.  Dare to simply tell a stranger to have a good day, 
something so simple might be whats needed to chase their blues away.
Little things mean a lot, you don't have to have millions to make someone's day,
A smile or a kind word or deed just might be all it takes to pave the way.
Dare to care.
