Written to melody of "You Give Me Something" by James Morrison

My heart said reach out to someone It said don't just try but do Said there’s a great need I could see its truth too I listened and searched deep Searched deep down inside I can see the need All around it surrounds Runs through me Maybe others can be found They will see the need It’ll make a difference you will see A first step let’s agree Know it’s easier just to live Let’s start just you and me We’ll get much more than we give It’s a different kind of love But it’s nice to take a lead I can see the need All around it surrounds Runs through me Maybe others can be found They will see the need It’ll make a difference you will see Help someone smile each day Will feel like it’s worth it to stay Be part of a new way Yeah.. Umm, I can see the need All around it surrounds Runs through me Maybe others can be found They will see the need Umm… Cause I can see the need All around it surrounds Runs through me Maybe others can be found They will see the need It’ll make a difference you will see A difference you will see
