The Things We Do

(My fellow citizens of the world)
Oh-woah (ask not what America will do for you)
(But what, together, we can do for the freedom of man)
Oh, yeah

Everyday that goes by
Every moment you'll find
There's a broken heart, a tear is cried, a wish is made
That never comes true
And somewhere someone needs to be found

Woah, the things we do
The things we say
Are gentle rays of hope
That touch us all each day
Woah, each day
The things we do (the things we do, the things we say)
The things we say (the greatest gifts we give away)
These are the greatest gifts we ever give away
The things we do
Oh, yeah

Now everyday in this life
Every moment you'll find
A heart is healed, a dream is found, a tear is dried
And laughter is heard
And somewhere someone's life will be changed

Woah, the things we do (the things we do, the things we say)
The things we say (the way we live our life each day)
Are gentle rays of hope that touch us all (it's all about the things we do)
Each day (all about me and you)
The things we do (the things we do, the things we say)
The things we say (the greatest gifts we give away)
These are the greatest gifts we'll ever give away
The things we do

Oh, every hand that has been held
Has reached out for somebody else
In every move we make
Every day we pass along this way

The things we do
The things we say
Are gentle rays of hope that touch us all each day
Oh, the things we do
The things we say
These are the greatest gifts we'll ever give, give away
The things we do (all the things we do)

So when you wake up in the morning
And you find someone who's lost and lonely
Just take them by the hand and help them find their way
When you're walking down the street
And you see a man who has no food to eat
Just reach into your pocket and help make his day

(I have a dream this afternoon)
I have a dream (that the brotherhood of man)
I have a dream (will become a reality in this day)
Ooh, with this day (and with this faith I will go out)
I wanna make somebody smile (and carve a tunnel of hope)
Oh, make somebody smile (through the mountain of despair, with this faith)
Through this day (I will go out with you and transform)
I wanna make a difference in a life (dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows)
(With this faith)
With this day I will change the world (we will be able to achieve this new day)
You can change the world (when all of God's children)
We can change the world (black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles)
By the things we do (Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands)
(And sing with the Negroes in the spiritual of old)
Oh-woah (in the spiritual of old)
Oh (free at last!)
The things we do (free at last! Thank God!)
