To see it up close... <br />No one can deny somebody's pain. <br />To see it up close... <br />No one has to hear one complaining. <br />To see up close... <br />Anyone who knows what it is, <br />Seldom doesn't drop a tear. <br /> <br />To see it up close... <br />Few do to view it. <br />Just to see it up close... <br />Few do it without a making of excuses, <br />To use to compare how they live. <br />Or make their situation worse than it is. <br /> <br />People only have themselves on their minds. <br />Time for other people people seldom find. <br />People only have themselves on their minds. <br />Time for other people people seldom find. <br /> <br />To see it up close... <br />No one can deny somebody's pain. <br />To see it up close... <br />No one has to hear one complaining. <br />To see up close... <br />Anyone who knows what it is, <br />Seldom doesn't drop a tear. <br /> <br />People only have themselves on their minds. <br />Time for other people people seldom find. <br />People only have themselves on their minds. <br />Time for other people people seldom find. <br /> <br />People don't know other people up close, <br />To know. <br />People don't know other people up close, <br />To know. <br />People don't know other people up close, <br />To know. <br />People don't know other people. <br />People don't know other people. <br />People don't know other people up close, <br />To know!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
