Do Something Good Songtext
von Tift Merritt

There are no countries
There are no sides
I don′t know why
We draw these lines
I don't know what
You see here, but
There′s nothing separating us

Your life is small
You know you could
If nothing else, do something good
Don't tell me why
It won't make sense
Please don′t tell me
Who God is

See, I was hoping
That I could tell
Maybe I′d find him
For myself


My life is small
You know I could
If nothing else, do something good
Goodness, too

Are you afraid?
Every day
Building barricades
To keep out the shadows
Of the sun
To hide yourself
From everyone

Your life is small
You know you could
If nothing else, do something good

Imaginary reasons why

The flood, the ache, the fear aside

I know it hurts a little bit


But aren't you still in love with it?
Down here
This world is borrowed
And incomplete
Its dreams are startled
Into the street
Tenderly waking
Like a child
Another new day
Born in its eye

Your life is small
You know you could
If nothing else, do something good
