A Human Touch Lyrics by Jackson Browne

Downhill From Everywhere

2019

[Verse 1: Leslie Mendelson]
You can call it a decision
I say it's how we're made
There's no point in shouting from your island
Proclaiming only Jesus saves
There will always be suffering
And there will always be pain
But because of it there'll always be love
And love, we know, it will remain

[Chorus: Jackson Browne & Leslie Mendelson]
Everybody gets lonely
Feel like it's all too much
Reaching out for some connection
Or maybe just their own reflection
Not everybody finds it
Not like the two of us
Sometimes all anybody needs
Is a human touch

[Verse 2: Jackson Browne]
Everybody wants a holiday
Everybody wants to feel the sun
Get outside and run around
Live like they're forever young
Everybody wants to be beautiful
And live life their own way
No one ever wants to let it go
No matter what they do or say

[Chorus: Jackson Browne & Leslie Mendelson]
Everybody gets lonely
Feel like it's all too much
Reaching out for some connection
Or maybe just their own reflection
Not everybody finds it
Not like the two of us
Sometimes all anybody needs
Is a human touch
Sometimes all anybody needs
Is a human touch

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Jackson Browne & Leslie Mendelson]
Everybody gets lonely
Feel like it's all too much
Reaching out for some connection
Or maybe just their own reflection
Not everybody finds it
Not like the two of us
Sometimes all anybody needs
Is a human touch
Sometimes all anybody needs
Is a human touch
