LETTING GO
I’m letting go, go, go
Don’t you know, know, know
Doesn’t mean anything
So let it go, go, go, go
Don’t you know, know, know
No, it doesn’t mean anything
It doesn’t mean anything
So let it go, go, go
ANTHEM SONG
Sittin' in this room
Lookin' at you
Ya judgin' me
It don't feel so good
All by myself
Don't want to be someone else
'cause
Sittin' in this room with you feelin' all the tension to,
To be something I'm not.
Judging me up and down
And in and out,
Hoping that I change into somethin' I'm not.
I know you want me to be
Somethin' I cant be,
Please just let me be me
I just gotta be me
You be you
Be whoever you like
And I will too
I'm overthinking every line
Can't seem to find the time to
Just be me
Cause'
Every day you try to change me,
Try to rearrange me
Why don't you just let me be
Be all that I want to be.
And
Don't try to right my wrong
This is my anthem song
'Cause there ain't nothing wrong with me
I'm finally usin' my voice to sing
I just gotta do me
You do you
Do whatever you like
And I will too
Just hear a me when I say
That there's nothing left to change
About me
Can't you see that
You no longer intimidate me
'Cause I finally love me
It's all that I want to be
And
Stop messin' with my head
Tryin' a play my god
In a world ya just can't see
'Cause it is all about me
Please, its not all about you
I just gotta be me
You be you
Be whoever you like
And I will too
Can I break away
and take away me from here
'Cause I don't know myself
I'm trying to be someone else
Day in
and
day out
And at some point I'm going to shout!
Is that what you really want from me?
You be you,
thank you,
and I will too
I just gotta do me
You do you
Do whatever you like
And I will too
You tryin' to make me to be
Somethin' I cannot be,
To be just like you
Frankly, I don't want to
Knowing I don't fit your mold
Only to be told
That I have to be someone like you
Well guess what, I don't want to
And I won't, so no thank you
I just gotta be me
You be you
Be whoever you like
And I will too
You try to mold me, change me
Try to rearrange me
Into something I'm not
Oh no, this leopard ain't gonna change her spots
Appreciate me for all that I've got
I just gotta do me
You do you
Do whatever you like
And I will too
You try to mold me, change me,
try to rearrange me
into something I'm not
Really now, please just stop!
I just gotta be me
I just want to be me
Just let me be me
I will be me
And live for me
And love me. Word.
TWO FEET AT A TIME
When you are driving aimlessly
Through the wilderness of your life
Sometimes you gotta just take it
Two feet at a time.
Sometimes the fog is so deep
And you can't see what's ahead
Just stop, take a breath
Collect yourself
Because you know that dangers' ahead
But trust your intuition
Trust that the road will be good
Trust that you'll make it forward
Trust like you wish you would
You can be lamp post
You can be my guide
You can move me forward
I know you'll be waitin'
There on the other side
Your life can be cut short
In a blink of an eye
But when your time has come
And gone
You'll wish you would have
Fly
Before it's too late
Take the turn around the next bend
You never know what awaits for you
In the end
So, trust your intuition
Trust that the road will be good
Trust that your movin' forward
Trust like you wish you would
You can be lamp post
You can be my guide
You can move me forward
I know you'll be waitin'
There on the other side
Trust your movin' forward
Trust in the road ahead
Trust that light before you
Cause I'll be waitin'
There on the other side
Cause I'll be waitin'
There on the other side
I know you'll be waitin'
There on the other side
NASHVILLE
I've been talkin' to God lately
And he's tellin' me things I don't understand
But I'm listenin' to all he's tellin' me
I will obey his command
Yes, I've been talkin'
Talkin' to God lately
And he's tellin' me things I don't understand
But I'm listenin' to all he's tellin' me
And will obey his command
So I think I'm gonna Nashville
I think I'm gonna start a new life
I think I'm gonna find out everything is just alright
I think I'm gonna get close to God
'Cause right now I'm so far away
I think I'm gonna go to Nashville
And that is where l'll stay
'Cause I'm on my way back home
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
Now that I'm walkin' in Nashville
And trying to understand it all
I've got to figure this life out
And really understand my call
But I am doing it, doing it daily
In a life that's really the way
That I should be out there livin'
Every single day
So I think I'm gonna Nashville
I think I'm gonna start a new life
I think I'm gonna find out everything is just alright
I think I'm gonna get close to God
Right now, I've been so far away
I think I'm gonna go to Nashville
And that is where I'll stay
'Cause I'm on my way back home,
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
Out here on Broadway
Where dreams are all made
I don't know what's waiting for me
But I'm findin’ it every single day
This whole life confuses me
'Cause I'm not truly listening
But once I start tunin’ into it
The radio is gettin’ dim
So I think I'm gonna Nashville
I think I'm gonna start a new life
I think I'm gonna find out everything is just alright
I think I'm gonna get close to God
Right now, I've been so far away
I think I'm gonna go to Nashville
And that is where I'll stay
'Cause I'm on my way back home,
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
Why Nashville,
I'll never really know
But now that I'm here it's becoming clear
That I never was really home
Nashville has made me become
More than I'll ever know
And that's the dream for many
More, so let's start the show
So I think I'm gonna Nashville
I think I'm gonna start a new life
I think I'm gonna find out everything is just alright
I think I'm gonna get close to God
Right now, I've been so far away
I think I'm gonna go to Nashville
And that is where I'll stay
'Cause I'm on my way back home,
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
Do I feel close to God
Closer than ever before
We have our morning coffees
And listen to that radio
But if God's been talkin' to me lately
Why am I not tuning in
If all this life is really
One big radio spin
So I think I'm gonna Nashville
I think I'm gonna start a new life
I think I'm gonna find out everything is just alright
I think I'm gonna get close to God
Right now, I've been so far away
I think I'm gonna go to Nashville
And that is where I'll stay
'Cause I'm on my way back home,
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
'Cause I'm on my way back home,
To a home I've never known
I think I'm gonna Nashville
CALI GIRL
I'm just a Cali girl livin' in a southern world
The weather's fine
The ocean breeze
Had a date with fate
Moved to the Volunteer state
Don't understand it all
But listened to the call
It's becoming clear
As I'm livin' here
Gonna relax a while
Slow down
And take my time
Grabbed myself some sweet tea
To get a bit of clarity
Without the noise
'Cause it was bothering me
I don't know what to do
Or what I'm holdin' on to
But that southern drawl
Has helped me understand it all
And find the real me
'Cause I'm just a Cali girl
Livin' in a Southern World
Who doesn't understand it all
But listened to the the call
And it's becoming clear
As I'm living here
Gonna relax a while
Slow down
And take my time
And those collard greens
Aren't the same as a smoothie
But I like them just the same
They are growing on me
Burnt pork ends
Kind of like the world I was livin in
Are crunchy and sweet
But not the real meat
In that southern way
It has showed me a good day
One that I never really had
In quite the same way
So for this Cali girl
Livin' in a southern world
Who doesn't understand it all
Especially with that drawl
That I want you to know
What you don't know
Will become more clear
As your living here
Be open to yourself
Cause they're ain't no one else
Who likes some sweet tea
To grab a bit of clarity
But I'll show you the way
To find the real me
So just relax a while,
Slow down
And take your time..
Just relax
Slow down
And take your time
Gonna relax
Slow down and
Take my time
ROCK N’ ROLL STAR
So you want to be a rock n’ roll star
It don't matter whose you are
It is a matter of fact
So how about that
But if you try, try, try, try so hard
It won't work
It don't matter who you think you are
But if you'd only look in to you first
It's right inside of you
Don't let it get the best of you
So you want to be a rock n roll star
Playing to those big 'ol crowds
What do you think they'll do
Will they get the best of you
Are going to do this from your heart
From the very start
Or will you sell out to yourself
And buy that big 'ol house
Who will you run off to
When you get a bad review
Are you gonna take a pause
Or just try to get more applause
You know where your heart is at
It doesn't lie with that
It will never fulfill you
Even though you want it to
But if you try, try, try, try so hard
It won't work
It don't matter who you think you are
If you'd only look inside to your heart
It's right there inside of you
Don’t let it get the best of you
Don’t let it get the rest of you
I want you to look inside
Take another chance and try
To figure it out for you
What you want this life to do
Who are you living for
What will it mean to score
If when you look around
There is no one there for you
For you to run off to
So you want to be a rock n' roll star
It don't matter whose you are
When they can't come and care for you
Like I know you want them to
So find that truth inside of you
Cause if you try, try, try so hard it won't come
It don't matter who you think you are
But if you look inside to your heart
It's right there inside of you
I want you to be happy with you
Not hearing a voice or two
Because if you don't
You'll look around and choke
I know you want this life
To be all up inside
But it's a matter of fact
Fame won't buy you that
So now what do you do
I know you want to care about you
If you want fame so bad
Just take a page from your dad
Happiness starts with you
It shouldn't matter what you do
But here you are about to start this journey to..
So be that rock n roll star
But to matter who you are
That love inside yourself
Will find its way to someone else
That's who will really care for you.
So if you try, try, try so hard it won't come
It don't matter who you think you are
If you look inside and
can't find it in you first
It will get the best of you,
don't let it get the best of you
MEET YOU SOON
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that day comes
Where we don't meet
I'm going to put a smile on my face
And pretend that I'm happy.
Waiting and wishing
and wanting and hoping
Everyday seeing your little face
In the face of everyone around me
Being "auntie" to 1000 kids around me
And never knowing it for my own
That pain is real
It cuts so deep
Asking God everyday when is it my turn
Knowing that it may never come
And being happy for everyone…
How do I know this to be true
How is it for me and you
Never knowing you
Your sweet smile, your sweet face
Being haunted by the fact that
My ovaries have an expiration date
As tears run down my face
Looking at the endless books
And nursery rhymes
I guess this just ain't my time
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that day comes
Where we don't meet
I'm going to put a smile on my face
And pretend that I'm happy
Hush little baby
Don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that day comes
Where we don't meet
I'm going to put a smile on my face
And pretend that I'm happy.
Where is god in this
I want to know
Cause my hope is running thin
To meet you, greet you
and call you my own
To never know you is real
To never see your sweet face
To never see that smile so bright
I hope little one if you are out there
You can make your way to me
And me to you
In the meantime
I just have to be happy
With a smile on my face
And resolve in my heart
To know that if this is not God's plan for me
I'll find that love
In another place
LITTLE GIRL
Little Girl
In the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see it any clearer?
Staring back at me?
Little Girl
Inside of me
When you were young
I looked so old
Now that I’m here
Not on the page anymore
Do you still have those
same views?
Do you still have those
same thoughts?
Do you still have those
same ways of looking at yourself?
Now that I’m almost 40 years gone.
Little girl
What do you see?
In the mirror
Staring back at me?
Do you love you?
Accept you for who you are?
Now that you are here
Not there anymore
Standing face to face
With me
Are you proud?
Are you sad?
Can you be happy
With me?
Little girl
Do you want to be
Me?
This imperfect mess is me
I know it’s hard
What do you see?
Little girl
Staring back at me?
Can you take it anymore?
And can you breathe?
Watching over me
I understand that you
Were never free
And had to protect me
Will you stop judging me?
And just let me be
Knowing that I can live this life
For me
So just let it be
Let me be
Because you are me
So just embrace us
And stop pushing me away
At the end of the day
Love me
Cherish me
Hold me
Forgive me
And let's move on
Together
Let me fall down
And pick myself up
It's the only way that I'll learn
And find my happiness
Because this artificial plane
That you have me traveling
Is like a tight rope
Ready to burst
It's unattainable
Unachievable
And I'm ready to fall anyway
So love me
Little girl
It's the only way forward
Take my hand
Little girl
And walk with me
I know you're scared to let go
Little girl
But let's love each other
And finally have peace and harmony ♥️
WISH YOU WELL
So I wish you well
It hurts like hell
I'm letting go
Of all I know
But I wish you well
Even though it hurts
I'm not turning back
To you
It's not what I'll do
No, I'll wish you well
God take this pain
That I'm feelin'
It's too much to bear
I know I care
'Cause I wish him well
How do I cry
When my tears have run dry
I'm letting go
Of all I know
Lord, I wish you well
And even though it hurts
I'm too tough for it
That's what I say
Every day
But I wish you well
Wishing, and hoping
And dreaming and
Loving
Wishing and hoping
And dreaming and loving
Yes, I wish you well…
CAZADERO
I said honey, it's time to go now
I've been traveling back and forth for way too long
Part of me just wants to settle down
'Cause I've left my heart here in this small town
Oh Cazadero
Uh oh Cazadero
Oh no Cazadero
Honey, honey, honey how can this be?
Baby, sugar, sweetheart, can't you see?
That were miles and miles and miles and miles apart
But you've captured my heart, yes you've captured my heart.
And while some say distance is like the wind
You never know which direction its blowin in
Will it burn this flame red hot
Or is it gonna stop, is it gonna stop?
You know, sweetie this is movin' real fast
How do we know if it is gonna last?
I love you and I always will
But how are we ever gonna get our fill?
Oh Cazadero
Uh oh Cazadero
Oh no Cazadero
Your touch on my skin is like summer rain
Fallin' afresh once again
Every time I'm with you, it is brand new
But do you feel the same thing too?
Lookin' in your eyes lookin' in mine
How are we gonna ever find the time
Baby I love you like I love myself
I don't want no one else
Oh Cazadero
Uh oh Cazadero
Oh no Cazadero
You have your dream and I have mine
It's just a matter of time before these collide
We ask ourselves if it is worth the ride
God only knows if it is worth the ride
Honey, honey, honey, where do we go from here?
Baby, darling, sweetheart, can we keep this together, or will it pull us apart?
Will distance fuel (light) this flame or put it out
Before it even gets the chance to start?
I believe in us do you believe it too?
I've never known a love to be so true
When I lay at night all I see is you
God I pray that you feel the same way too.
(Chorus)
Oh cazadero
Uh oh cazadero
Oh no cazadero
I said honey, it's time to go now
I've been traveling back and forth for way too long
Is it time for me to settle down
And make my home here in this small town...
GIFT FROM THE SEA
The tug and pull
The twist and shout
I have no doubt you loved me
You're my gift from the sea
Oh, my gift from the sea
You washed ashore
I picked you up
I held you in my hands
How you comforted me
Oh, how you comforted me
A moment in time,
a place in this space,
the look upon your face,
you are my gift from the sea.
Is it for eternity?
I saw you there
like the rushing wind
You swept over me again
and again
My gift from the sea
Oh, how you loved me
The sweet embrace
The touch of your hand
It plays like a movie in my head
And the look on your face
Oh, that look on your face
A moment in time,
a place in this space,
the look upon your face,
you are my gift from the sea.
Is it for eternity?
The kiss we shared
at the beach that day
The sunset at our backs
How opposites attract
Oh, how opposites attract
No thoughts
no words
nothing to do
Just to stare at you
How will this story end?
A moment in time,
a place in this space,
the look upon your face,
you are my gift from the sea.
Is it for eternity?
A moment in time,
a place in this space,
the look upon your face,
you are my gift from the sea.
Is it for eternity?
We danced to the roar
of the crashing waves
Your touch, your grip, your stare
You took all of me
Oh, you took all of me
The smell of the smoke
Running in your hair
The burning embers bright
How you lighted the night
Oh, how you lighted the night
Now that we
are done and through
I have no choice
but to release you
My gift from the sea
Oh, how you comforted me...
And if you come back to me
I know it will be for eternity...
Oh for eternity
My gift from the sea…
IN OR OUT
Just take your time
But are you in this, or are you out of it?
You blow my mind
I've been searching for so long
And I love you so
And willing to take it slow
But I need to know
If your heart is in it
So, make up your mind
Are you in this or out of it?
Can't find the time
To be guessin' what's in your head
Make up your mind
Are you in this or out of it?
Can't find the time
To guess what's goin' on
in your head
Tell me it straight
Do you want to be together
Or not?
And if you don't know
Why don't you just say so
Stop messin' around
And tell me what's going on
In your mind
'Cause you pull me back up
You pull me back in
You mess me around
And you do it again
So, make up your mind
Are you in this or out of it?
Can't find the time
To figure out what’s going on
In your head
And if you’re confused
That's fine
Just say so
But I'm feelin' used
When you don't tell me
What's goin' on
But you pull me back up
You pull me back in
You mess me around
And you do it again
Make up your mind
Oh, are you in this or out of it?
I can't find the time
To figure out what’s going on
In your head
So, make up your mind
Are you in this or out of it?
‘Cause I’m out of it...
TREAT A WOMAN BETTER
When we were saying goodbye
With that tear in your eye
I should have known not to cry
Should’ve treated me better
Now that I'm walking away
Don't ask me to stay
I'm not gonna be in your way
Should’ve treated me better
I just wanted some of your time
But you said you're not mine
I'm worth every dollar and dime
Should’ve treated me better
Could’ve had all of this
Now you'll get none of this
That was our last kiss
Shoulda treated me better
Treat a woman better
You know better
How to treat a woman better
Saying goodbye to this
Walking away from this
That was our last kiss
Should’ve treated me better
Treat a woman better
You know better
How to treat a woman better
You said it yourself
That I talk too much
If I had a penny for your thoughts
I'd surely be a rich woman
Don't try to sell me those lies
Like you care about me
If that's how it's gonna be
Man up and say you're sorry
Could’ve had all of this
Now you'll get none of this
That was our last kiss
Should’ve treated me better
Treat a woman better
You know better
How to treat a woman better
Saying goodbye to this
Walking away from this
That was our last kiss
Should’ve treated me better
Treat a woman better
You know better
How to treat a woman better
Now you'll know better
Right now
Right now
Right now
Treat a woman better
Treat a woman better
Right now
Know to treat a woman better
Right now
Spoken:
Your value and worth are just that,
your value and worth
Treat yourself better ♥️
A MEMORY
20 years have past
Since we both locked eyes with each other
We were in that math class
I asked you if you'd done your homework
Do you remember?
You knew what I really wanted
And asked me out to lunch
That is all it took from you
That was the day we first met
What a beautiful memory
Of us being young
So full of hopes and dreams
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
We played house so young
I tried to be a good wife
Did my best to support you
And all of your dreams too
But it takes more than that
To build up a happy home
As you said when you left that day
It takes more than love alone
We were so young back then
So foolish too
To think that I could change you
And that you could change me too
So much time has past
Without a word or two
Can you forgive me
I know I've forgiven you
Now that I've blessed you
Can you do the same
Now that I've forgiven you
Can we make an exchange
We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
Oh, so long ago
we were young
Didn't know anything
I thought that I loved you
I was really fooling myself
I thought that I could care for you
But you found that in someone else
You caused me so much pain
But so did I in you
I was too young back then
To know what you needed from me
And how to raise a family.
Where has the time gone too?
I hope you know I pray for you
Even as I write this song
I wonder where the years have gone
I learned to love from you
The right and the wrong things to do
How to truly be myself
And give love to someone else
You released me
Like a caged bird and set me free
At that point I didn't know
What I was supposed to do
But time has past for us both
And I hope to bless you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
I hope you're doing well
And you found God again
It's the only reason that I write this song
And can make amends
We were so young back then
Didn't know the right things to do
We were so foolish and young
And got married too
We are older now
Had some reflection too
Sorry that I've hurt you so
And hoping that you'll let that pain go
I promise I don't want you
Just to live a good life
I pray for your family
And for your new wife
Can we forgive each other
For the hurts and pains of the past
Now that we have moved on
Can we put the past in the past
Now that I've blessed you
Can you forgive me
All the pain that we caused each other
And how we hurt our families.
I hope and pray at night
That we see each other,
Have peace with each other,
and to love one another.
FATHER’S GARDEN
When I was a little girl
I came home with a pocket full of dreams
Only to see them scattered on the floor
The day that you left me there
Waiting by the front door
Year after year, I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
For years and years
I searched my heart for you
I didn't know what to do
With all this anger inside
And tried to hide
But I came to myself
And confronted you
Year after year, I collected those seeds
That you left inside of me
Waiting to be replanted somewhere
In a garden full of hopes and dreams
Daddies don't do the things that you do
I couldn't run after you
I couldn't run after you
I had to run to myself
Over and over again
Run to myself
Over and over again
Father of mine
Can we build this in time
This garden of love
It's been so hard
Can we plant those seeds
And watch them grow
Father of mine
Don’t you know
It's been hard
For all these years
It's been hard
Missing you
Father of mine
Don’t you know
It's been too many years
I really don’t know what to say
I don’t want to let words get in the way
Daddies don’t do that to their little girls
Daddies don’t do that to their little girls
Father of mine
Don’t you leave
Father of mine
I can’t breathe
I’ll take the first step forward
I’ll take the first step forward
I’ll take the first step forward
Father of mine
Don’t you know
It’s getting harder on my end
I look into your eyes
And see the man that I once knew
I’m not sure where he went
But I’m seeing you
Father of mine
Can’t you see?
When you weren’t there?
Why did you leave me?
Can we take those seeds
And throw them down?
Can we scatter them round?
And build something new?
Can we build something new?
Just me and you
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
Can we spring love anew?
In our garden full of hopes and dreams
BORDER WALL
It says on the dollar
In God, we trust
A penny doesn't lie
Neither do my words
If the sparrow speaks
How many people gotta die
Before we get to fly?
Dandelion fluff swirls
Spreading its seed in the wind
And where will it plant itself?
Like new wheels on a bike
Where will I ride and see the sky?
I war against you
You war against me
I feel like I'm battling society
Humanity is raging
Inside of me
Can't I just breathe
Feeling it all up
Inside of me
All choked up
Suffocating instead of loving
Can I look at you
And you look at me
Through everything that
You
You don't see
Seeing me
Don't we all just want to be free?
Pink cotton skies in the distant wind
Where will our lives begin
Moving and swaying to someone else's
Ebb and flow
Like birds flying high
I don't really know
But you war against me
In this society
Humanity is not really me
We hate to love
And then love to hate
Can you tell me to equate
What did I do in this maze
That you've created
In your haze
Dandelion fluff floating in the wind
Where will it land
And how will it spin
I war against you
You war against me
I feel like humanity is raging
Inside of me
In this world
We just want to be free
Like floating clouds above our
Very own ground
Stepping on this side of life
Free to be any way we like
But my freedom comes at a
Cost to me
Can't you see
Can't you see
Just give me some air to breathe
Without the dust and smog
That you're spewing out
Living in a way that
I can't figure out
When you war against me
For a position in society
Be ready to fight
Fight inside of me
'Cause that wars waging in
The way that you spin
All of the lies that you tell
Just to win
While you may win the fight
On this side of Life
I pray that you find a way
To the other side
Through the dandelion fluff
And dust
As they say
Dust to dust and
Ashes to ashes
So you war against me
In society
Somebody else's
Humanity
Can't we all just live
And be
EYES AND EARS
What do your eyes see?
What do your ears hear?
Are you going to do anything?
Or just sit there?
'Cause our prayers and thoughts mean nothing at all
If you don't answer the call
What do you want from your life?
Have you asked yourself that question?
Do you know what it means to really live?
Or just live for yourself?
And all that is fine and well
But if you knew that there was something bigger
Just waiting for you
What would you do?
We have but limited time here
To really make a change
Not just for ourselves
But for all the human race
Do you want to live in misery?
Or actually get up and do something?
What do your eyes see?
What do your ears hear?
Are you going to do anything?
Or just sit there?
'Cause our prayers and thoughts mean nothing at all
If you don't get up and answer that call
Look all around you
You see hurt everywhere
Do you feel empathy?
Or are you just going to sit there?
What if you were one of those in need?
Would you feel such greed?
What does your money mean
If you don't do anything?
'Cause you can't take it with you at all
So why don't you be an example to us all?
And do something with it all?
And answer the call?
What do your eyes see?
What do your ears hear?
Are you going to do anything?
Or just sit there?
'Cause our prayers and thoughts mean nothing at all
If you don't get up and answer that call
It's easy to make our life worth something
But we have to stand up and do something
You can't expect to live the good life
Just sitting there and doing nothing
And if you've never experienced anything at all
Why don't you just stand up and listen to the call?
Get out from under yourself and your own selfishness
And truly give the gift of life to the ones who have less
Then you may find all that you were looking for
In the eyes of someone who has much less more
So get up, get going and do something
Find your life in the life of another
And purpose and meaning to it all
Because you actually answered the call.
'Cause you can't really change
Anything at all
Unless you answer the call
'Cause your prayers and thoughts
Don't mean anything
Unless you do something
Do something
'Cause your prayers and thoughts
Mean nothing at all
Unless you get up
And listen to the call
