A Little Bit of Solitude

A Little Bit of Solitude
(Steve Gillette and Charles John Quarto)

I was talkin' with my neighbor about the world situation
And the things that we were sayin' made us listen to each other
We've heard so many statements but we never get an answer
It takes an awful lot of patience to stand back and be kind.

And it takes a little bit of solitude, a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.
It takes a little bit of solitude, a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.

Everybody's lookin' somewhere for their fair share of wonder
Everybody's fallen under one spell or another.
And you know that I have been there and you know I am there still
And we shall discuss this later, higher on up the hill.

'Cause it takes a little bit of solitude a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.
It takes a little bit of solitude a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.

Oh the children on the corner and the old ones in the road there
Seem to watch us wander nowhere through it all.
But I know we're getting closer to a far better place
And I know we're gonna get there and I know what it takes.

It takes a little bit of solitude, a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.
It takes a little bit of solitude, a whole lot of gratitude
A truly loving attitude to live in this world today.

Un poquito de la soledad
Poquito mismo de la amistad
Un atitud carinoso de verdad
Para vivir en esta mundo hoy.
