I sit beneath the willow tree
        And cry
I sit beneath the willow tree
        And wonder why
Why do we not see
        The ones who fear
Why do we not pull
        Them near
Why are we so afraid
        To embrace
Why do we not help
        Wipe tears from their face
Man cannot stand alone
        When his heart aches
His fall from this life
        We must break
Do not just stand by
        And stare
Go over and hug
        And show you care
Sit down awhile
        And let him speak
Listen closely as his
        Tale is told
You have helped him
        On his lonely road
You stopped the darkness
        From coming in
You saved a life
        You let light in
