  • 1. A Human Touch
    You can call it a decision
    I say it's how we're made
    There's no point in shouting from your island
    Proclaiming only Jesus saves
    There will always be suffering
    And there will always be pain
    But because of it there'll always be love
    And love, we know, it will remain

    Everybody gets lonely
    Feel like it's all too much
    Reaching out for some connections
    Or maybe just their own reflection
    Not everybody finds it
    Not like the two of us
    Sometimes all anybody needs
    Is a human touch

    Everybody wants a holiday
    Everybody wants to feel the sun
    Get outside and run around
    Live like they're forever young
    Everybody wants to be beautiful
    And live life their own way
    No one ever wants to let it go
    No matter what they do or say

    Everybody gets lonely
    Feel like it's all too much
    Reaching out for some connections
    Or maybe just their own reflection
    Not everybody finds it
    Not like the two of us
    Sometimes all anybody needs
    Is a human touch
    Sometimes all anybody needs
    Is a human touch

    Everybody gets lonely
    Feel like it's all too much
    Reaching out for some connections
    Or maybe just their own reflection
    Not everybody finds it
    Not like the two of us
    Sometimes all anybody needs
    Is a human touch
    Sometimes all anybody needs
    Is a human touch
