A baby boy is born in suburb and they
Bring him home in an SUV
He's got a yard with a pool and playground
And a picture-perfect family
A baby girl is born in the city to a young mother who's just 15
She's got a dress that's always dirty
And a dead-beat dad she'll never see
Life's not fair from the very beginning
The good news is it's not all about losing and winning
There are those who have and those who have not
What matters most
Is what you do with what you got
The boy grows up playin' lots of baseball, goin' to parties and cuttin' class
The little girl takes care of her brothers and she
Has to grow up way too fast
He turns 20 and drops out of college
His daddy buys him a new Corvette
She graduates from nursing school with
33 thousand dollars in debt
Life's not fair from the very beginning
The good news is it's not all about losing and winning
There are those who have and those who have not
What matters most is
What you do with what you got
He was driving drunk one night when he lost control
She was sitting at a bus stop when he hit the telephone pole
She pulled him free and did all she could 'til the ambulance came
Later they told him
A woman saved your life but we never did get her name
Life's not fair from the very beginning
The good news is it's not all about losing and winning
Life's not fair from the very beginning
Yeah but don't give up, it's not all about losing and winning
There will be those who have and those who have not
But we all get to choose
What we do with what we got
What we do with what we got
