David Wilcox - It's What You Do With What You've Got lyrics

by Si Kahn .............................................. You must know someone like him He's strong and tall and lean His body like a greyhound And his mind so sharp and keen But his heart just like a laurel Grew twisted on itself 'Til almost everything he did Brought pain to someone else Chorus: 'Cause it's not just what you're born with It's what you choose to bear It's not how much your share is But it's how much you can share And it's not the fights you've dreamed of But those you really fought It's not just what you're given It's what you do with what you've got Now between those who use their neighbor And those who use a cane Between those in constant power And those in constant pain Between those who run to evil And those who cannot run Tell me which ones are the cripples And which ones touch the sun Chorus For what's the use of two strong legs If you only run away And what good is the finest voice With nothing good to say And what good is strength and muscle If you only push and shove What's the use in two good ears If you can't hear those you love Chorus What you do with what you've got .............................................. © Si Kahn.
