THE TIME IT TAKES TO NOD AND SAY HELLO
THE TIME IT TAKES TO SMILE AND LET THEM KNOW
THAT YOU CARE FOR THEM AND NOT JUST KEEP GOING

THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE
THE TIME TO LET DOWN YOUR GUARD AND SHARE
AND LAUGH AND TALK IS ANOTHER WAY OF SHOWING

IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME…

THE TIME IT TAKES TO HOLD HER TINY HAND
THE TIME IT TAKES SHOW HIM THAT HE CAN
THE TIME TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO JUST KEEP ON FLOWING

THE TIME IT TAKES TO HELP SOMEONE IN NEED
THE TIME IT TAKES TO PLANT A TINY SEED
OF FAITH AND LOVE
AND WATCH IT START GROWING

IT ONLY TAKES A SECOND OF YOUR TIME
TO SHINE YOUR LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS OF DAY
TAKE A MINUTE – BE SURPRISED TO FIND
YOU CAN ENCOURAGE HOPE IN SO MANY WAYS

(CHORUS)

TAKE THE TIME TO INSPIRE (repeat)
FIND SOMEONE TO POUR YOUR LIFE INTO AND HELP THEM REACH HIGHER
FIND A CAUSE TO POUR YOUR HEART INTO AND HELP FAN THE FIRE

THE TIME TO LIFT YOU UP WHEN YOU ARE DOWN
THE TIME IT TAKES TO SMILE AWAY YOUR FROWN
THE TIME TO HUG YOU THROUGH YOUR TEARS
AND MAKE IT ALL BETTER

THE TIME IT TAKES TO CALL AND ASK FORGIVENESS
TO SPEAK LIFE AND REALLY LIVE IT
THE TIME TO OPEN UP YOUR HEART
AND SEND IT OFF IN A LETTER
IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME
TO BUILD A LIFE AND KEEP IT SUCEEDING
TAKE A SECOND AND YOU WILL FIND
TO SECURE A HEART YOU MUST START BELIEVING

TAKE THE TIME TO INSPIRE…
