"A Human Touch" lyrics

Jackson Browne & Leslie Mendelson Lyrics

"A Human Touch"
(from "5B" soundtrack)

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 reflections
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 reflections
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 reflections
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
