There’s no bout a dout of what I’m here to say
Life if forward and backwards this way
Sideways sometimes it’s simple for me
Step to the side and let things be
I don’t understand what some people think
Overload your boat and it will sink
Take on the world as if it would change
But to do nothing is not in my range
Forward I push to make things right
Nothing I’ve changed without a fight
Small things are different this I’ve done
My impact on the world is simply none
But change is the place that starts it all
I must push forward and answer the call
Without the will to make things right
Darkness will come as quick as the night
There’s know bout a dout what I should do
Make things better for me and for you
The best way I know is to start right here
To make myself better and have nothing to fear
Change what I can and strive for my best
Help who I can and try for the rest
Do what you can to help others be fit
There’s no bout a dout it stand up or just sit
