WHAT YOU CAN DO

 

IT’S A REAL SMALL REVOLUTION

WHEN AN ARMY OF ONE

FOUND A SOLUTION

WITHOUT A GUN

 

THEN A CHANGE COMES INTO RANGE

NEVER QUITE MAKES THE SIX O’CLOCK NEWS

WHEN THE WORDS THIN OUT THE HERD

I’VE GOT TO DO WHAT I CAN DO

 

DO WHAT YOU CAN DO, ALL YOU CAN DO

 

BOUND TO START SOMETIME

COULD BE THIS MINUTE

A SLIGHT CONTRIBUTION

AND ONE PERSON DID IT

 

LOOKS LIKE CHANGE, A LIL’ BIT STRANGE

LIKE LACING UP NEW PAIRS OF SHOES

LOTS OF WORDS THIN OUT THE HERD

I’VE GOT TO DO WHAT I CAN DO

 

DO WHAT YOU CAN DO, ALL YOU CAN DO

 

THERE’S NOBODY ELSE

SITTIN ON THE SHELF

TO LIGHT UP A SIGN

CUZ WORDS ARE JUST WORDS, TOSSED TO THE BIRDS

ONLY A DEED CAN PLANT A FEW SEEDS

 

THERE’S NO ONE TO CALL

SO PICK UP THE BALL

AND LIGHT UP A SIGN

AND CUT THROUGH THE WORDS, THROWN TO THE BIRDS

CUZ ONLY A DEED CAN PLANT THE NEW SEEDS

 

PLANT THE NEW SEEDS

IT’S UP TO ME

IT’S UP TO YOU
