What Can I Do?

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power

You hear about this and you hear about that. And that's just in the last hour

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty

And when resistance works its way, you set the world right. And that's the beauty

So I ask myself, what can I do?

With these two hands and a heart that's true?

I can raise my voice, I can take a stand

I can help my neighbor, I can lend a hand

It ain't just one thing, it's everything, you see…

It all starts right here with me.

The screens are screaming, left and right. Drowning reason in the fight

They're drawing lines out in the sand So I won't see my fellow man

They sell you lies and call it news. Light the fuse, and then act confused

But I see the game, I know the score. And I'm not buying it anymore.

And I ask myself, what can I do?

With these two hands and a heart that's true?

I can raise my voice, I can take a stand

I can help my neighbor, I can lend a hand

It ain't just one thing, it's everything, you see…

It all starts right here with me.

They say be quiet, know your place. Just another nameless face

But history's pages, they can tell, Of every time a tyrant fell

It wasn't from a roof or from a home. It was from a seed that had been sown

In the heart of someone, tired and sore. Who finally said, "I'll take no more."

So don't you ask me, what can you do?

With those two hands and a heart that's true!

I can raise your voice, you can take a stand!

You can help your neighbor, You can lend a hand!

It ain't just one thing, it's everything, you see

It all starts with you…with you,

And it all starts with me!

What can I do?

What can you do?

Do whatever you can

...but just do something!
