Touch Of Humanity

entry picture

You touched me with your humanity 
You touched me
Lifted my spirits and set me free
You touched me 
I was blind but now I can see
You touched me with your humanity

One day at a time the people say
Tomorrow may never come okay
Be present in the here and now
All you get is a fleeting moment wow
History is long dead and gone
We are not on this planet for long
Forget about the master plan
Just do the best that you can

You touched me with your humanity
You touched me
I was in the dark
But now I see the light
You touched me
I'm not giving up without a fight
You touched me with your humanity

When times get tough
And you have had enough 
Look up to the never ending sky
If you had wings you would surely fly
You may be in a lot of pain
But one day you will smile again
In your heart keep hope and love
Your destiny is in the heavens above

You touched me with your humanity
You touched me
And gave me hope 
Helped me to cope
You touched me
I want to thank thee
You touched me with your humanity
