Lyrics
LONELY IS TIME
Lonely is the hungry child who cries himself to sleep
Lonely is the beggar man wandering street to street
Lonely is a broken heart, caused by war or crime
And lonely is time.
Lonely is a homeless vet standing in the rain
Lonely is his sleepless night till morning comes again
Where are all the citizens that couldn't care a dime?
That he shared his time.
It's time to help our fellow man.
It won't take much we really can
Lost time has made us drift apart
And left us with these cold, cold hearts.
Lonely are the shattered dreams of war in many lands
Lonely are the undernourished the Lord holds in his hand
Lonely is this world we're in where no one seems mind
And lonely is time.
So lonely is time, so lonely is time....time. So lonely is time.
