What's the use in living
If you're always taking and never giving
There's such a need out there
But where are the people who really care?
YEA where are the people that care?
It might seem funny
But they're out there chasing money.
Never satisfied with what they got
Ever chasing a system that's got rot.
Driving the flashy cars-
Not bothered that some kids have no Pa's.
Doing a deal for another buck,
At the cost of another- tough luck!
Chorus
Come on y'all
When you going to heed the call?
Get up of your butt
Don't get stuck in the rut.
Always cheating, crooking, lying,
While there's precious people dying.
When there's so much you can do-
Get up -it's up to YOU!
2
Get up, make a start-
Pray for a tender heart.
We can all play our part,
Just get out of the cart.
Let you life count,
Let your heart pound.
Get a feel for the lost-
Sure it's going to cost.
But life ain't worth living
If you are always taking, never giving.
CHORUS REPEAT
3
Come on now it's time to count-
Are you in or are you out?
The time has come to make a stand
'cause things are really out of hand.
Oh God hear us from on high
Before more innocent people die.
It is not an issue of black or white,
but rather doing what is right.
So come ya'all don't just sit there-
Lets all do something to show we really care.
REPEAT CHORUS
