I go to work, I make an honest living
Every night I give thanks for all I've been given
In the morning, I skim the paper, drink my coffee
With every word I read, what bothers me is I'm becoming indifferent
I can sit and watch the world in trouble crumble from the sideline
Or maybe I can sit and watch the world crumble from the sideline

And make a difference
How long will I wait, standing still?
How long can my faith keep its will?
I've been leaving it up to everyone else
Hoping it might change itself
Time to offer up more than my good will
How long will I wait, standing still?
No man
Picks up trash around our town
Bags on both his hands
He ought to wear a crown
Dare I say
Dare I say
Dare I say
I used to call him crazy
Now it occurs to me
That there's a piece in the path he's found
He says I can't explain exactly
Why I'm doing this
But imagine if everybody did
How long will I wait, standing still?
How long can my faith keep its will?
I've been leaving it up to everyone else
Hoping it might change itself
Time to offer up more than my good will
Should anyone ever go hungry?
Should anyone sleep on the streets?
We're drilling holes in our sacred land
While we're guzzling gasoline
Should anyone ever go hungry?
Should anyone sleep on the streets?
We're drilling holes in our sacred land
While we're guzzling gasoline
How long?
How long?
How long?
How long?
I've been leaving it up to everyone else
Hoping it might change itself
Time to offer up more than my good will
No more standing still
No more standing still
No more standing still.
