It only takes a moment to put your thoughts to words
But it could take a lifetime to forget the hurt
Buried deep inside yourself are things that you can't see
And it might take a lifetime to put your heart at ease
It only takes a smile to wash away the pain
A gentle word of kindness could even stop the rain
Put your heart out on display and you might change the world
Or you might get the kindness that you needed in return
Lonely hearts thinking lonely thoughts
Just trying to find a place to belong
It only takes the softest touch to lift away the weight
To know that someone cares enough to even know your name
Let the sunlight warm your face and let your guard down
Let them see the one they've missed and let the joy abound
Lonely hearts thinking lonely thoughts
Just trying to find a place to belong
Lonely hearts thinking lonely thoughts
Just trying to find a place to call home
