Story Behind The Song

I can be selfish at times. This song was written to reflect the struggle to reprioritize the things that matter.

Song Description

In a world where selfishness reigns... this shows an inner struggle to look outside one's self to help others.

Lyrics

Touch A Heart by clinton mckinney
(vs1)
Trudging by the sea,
with your head turned down I see the pain is there
but the hourglass of time won't stop so...
I won't turn back
you're on your own
but my head is full of questions asking

(chorus)
What if I could look outside myself for once
To see that others need my help and...
to Lend a shoulder and a smile and all the while
Touch a heart...one person at a time...
one person at a time...touch a heart

(vs2)
You see I got big dreams climbing the ladder
Really want nice things
so the quest for success
is calling
mmm, The price of promotion
is neglecting emotions...
If I could
Hear what my heart is saying...

(chorus)
What if I could look outside myself for once
To see that others need my help and...
to Lend a shoulder and a smile and all the while
Touch a heart...one person at a time...
one person at a time...touch a heart

(brdg)
From my point of reference,
ooh_ I can make a difference
mmm_ Sisters and brothers
my significant others
Need my time right now need my time...
I can make a difference...
I can make a difference...
I can make a difference...

(vs3)
My heart is pulling me back
The other things can wait
I'm sorry about before
but I am here to listen, not ignore you
There is nothing more important
than this moment,
don't you know
I'm gonna see you through,
see you through...

(chorus)
to Lend a shoulder
and a smile
and all the while
Touch a heart...
one person at a time...
one person at a time...
Touch a heart...
one person at a time...
one person at a time...touch a heart
