about

Sometimes we want something that is there for the asking. The trick is in the actual asking. Just ask.

lyrics

Ask Them To 10-22-14
By Todd Burge ©2015 Bunj Jam BMI

Your best work
Has gone unnoticed
Your finest hour
Is acting its age
Before beauty
Is in the eye of the beholder
The sole proprietor
Has some soul searching to do

Someone is bound to reach out
If you just ask them to
Someone is bound to reach out to you
Just ask them to
Ask them to

It might sound corny
But one stock won’t do
It’ll grow alone
But never ever produce
So get your bees to buzzin’
Or call up a kissin’ cousin
And make some noise
That only two can do

Someone is bound to reach out
If you just ask them to
Someone is bound to reach out to you
Just ask them to
Ask them to

There’s one thing
The lonely can’t see
Love is there
It never ever leaves
A dormant state
Can be released
If you congregate
That gate will open
It’s true
Someone is bound to reach out
If you just ask them to
Someone is bound to reach out to you
Just ask them to
Ask them to
