afraid to take a stand?

Just Too Many People / Melissa_Manchester
"Somebody told me a long, long time ago
O baby - I feel a change in me
Is comin' on
I've found the strength I need
To carry on
Something's come over me at last
Sweet darlin' - long as you stay by me
I'm halfway home
I can see brighter days before me
Tho' it's been stormy
At least I know I'm not alone
'Cause there's just too many people
In this world
Who are undecided
There's just too many broken people
Afraid to take a stand
There's just too many lonely people
Livin' in a house divided
By loneliness and sorrow
I'll never understand
Somebody told me a long, long time ago
Remember when you need something to believe in
Look in my eyes to find your heaven
I'll make it happen -
I need to know you're there
'Cause there's just too many people
In this world
Who are undecided
There's just too many broken people
Afraid to take a stand
There's just too many lonely people
Livin' in a house divided
By loneliness and sorrow
It's more than I can stand"

Back in Germany in the winter of '76 I came across this album. I'd heard a few of her songs on the radio beofre then, but I'd never heard this song. I claimed it as my own during that period of my life in uniform. It still grabs me even now when I listen to it.
