The Things We Do

(My fellow citizens of the world) Oh-woah (ask not what America will do for you) (But what, together, we can do for the freedom of man) Oh, yeah Everyday that goes by Every moment you'll find There's a broken heart, a tear is cried, a wish is made That never comes true And somewhere someone needs to be found Woah, the things we do The things we say Are gentle rays of hope That touch us all each day Woah, each day The things we do (the things we do, the things we say) The things we say (the greatest gifts we give away) These are the greatest gifts we ever give away The things we do Oh, yeah Now everyday in this life Every moment you'll find A heart is healed, a dream is found, a tear is dried And laughter is heard And somewhere someone's life will be changed Woah, the things we do (the things we do, the things we say) The things we say (the way we live our life each day) Are gentle rays of hope that touch us all (it's all about the things we do) Each day (all about me and you) The things we do (the things we do, the things we say) The things we say (the greatest gifts we give away) These are the greatest gifts we'll ever give away The things we do Oh, every hand that has been held Has reached out for somebody else In every move we make Every day we pass along this way The things we do The things we say Are gentle rays of hope that touch us all each day Oh, the things we do The things we say These are the greatest gifts we'll ever give, give away The things we do (all the things we do) So when you wake up in the morning And you find someone who's lost and lonely Just take them by the hand and help them find their way When you're walking down the street And you see a man who has no food to eat Just reach into your pocket and help make his day (I have a dream this afternoon) I have a dream (that the brotherhood of man) I have a dream (will become a reality in this day) Ooh, with this day (and with this faith I will go out) I wanna make somebody smile (and carve a tunnel of hope) Oh, make somebody smile (through the mountain of despair, with this faith) Through this day (I will go out with you and transform) I wanna make a difference in a life (dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows) (With this faith) With this day I will change the world (we will be able to achieve this new day) You can change the world (when all of God's children) We can change the world (black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles) By the things we do (Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands) (And sing with the Negroes in the spiritual of old) Oh-woah (in the spiritual of old) Oh (free at last!) The things we do (free at last! Thank God!)
