The Last Session - When You Care Lyrics

(words by John Bettis, music by Steve Schalchlin)

There's a line holding us together
There's a line holding us all together
You can call it fate
You can call it life
But everything changes

When you care
When you care
You don't need an explanation when you care
Either you love or you don't
Either you will or you won't
You don't need an explanation when you care

There's a word

Stronger than the silence
There's a word stronger than any silence
You can call it love, you can call it God
The name doesn't matter, it just doesn't matter

When you care
When you care
You don't need an explanation when you care

Either you love or you don't
Either you will or you won't
You don't need an explanation when you care

Out of time
everyone is running out of time
And the river keeps on rolling
You can live every day. You can die every day.
Which way doesn't matter, no it just doesn't matter

When a hand
reaches in the darkness
When a hand touches you in the darkness
It might be a friend
Or someone you don't know
Which one doesn't matter, no it just doesn't matter

When you care
When you care
you can only make a difference
when you care
Either you love or you don't
Either you will or you won't
You can only make a difference
when you care

It seems to me life's mystery
is written in the language of the heart

We learn to read from what we need
and everything the poetry of living teaches us
It teaches us
everyday it teaches us

When you care
When you care
You can only lift the darkness when you care
Either you love or you don't
Either you will or you won't

You don't need an explanation
You can only make a difference
You can only lift the darkness when you care.
