lyrics

VERSE:
You know that no one can take away from you
That thing we call influence, the way you do what you do
No matter the/what situation you encounter, it’s a fact:
You and you alone choose how you’ll react

V2
Nobody can force you to respond/think or act a certain way
So I suggest prudence in the things you choose today
You’ll surely affect each and everyone you meet today
Will they be happy that they met you, or relieved you walked away?

CHORUS
Do what you can, where you are
Use what you have in your hand
Keep shooting for the highest star
But don’t forget your fellow man
Be the change right where you are
start with who’s there facing you
Give what you can and be glad for what simple acts of love can do

V3
Every man has his secret sorrows, & may be having a tough day
And a small word of comfort may help chase some/those blues away
And a small word of comfort could only help, it’s safe to day
You have no control over what others say or do
But how you use your time, your money or your energy is up to you

CHORUS
Do what you can, where you are
Use what you have in your hand
Keep shooting for the highest star
Just don’t forget your fellow man
Be the change right where you are
Start with who’s there facing you
Give what you can and be glad for what simple acts of love can do

Bridge:
Jesus didn’t hand out a lot of compliments while in our world,
But He praised one lowly woman saying:
“She has done/did what she could”
