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

David Wilcox

It's What You Do With What You've Got

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:

Lyrics by Si Kahn
'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

What you do with what you've got

Chorus
If you can't hear those you love
What's the use in two good ears
If you only push and shove
And what good is strength and muscle
With nothing good to say
And what good is the finest voice
If you only run away
For what's the use of two strong legs
Chorus

And which ones touch the sun
Tell me which ones are the cripples
And those who cannot run
Between those who run to evil
And those in constant pain
Between those in constant power
And those who use a cane
Now between those who use their neighbor

It's what you do with what you've got
It's not just what you're given
But those you really fought
And it's not the fights you've dreamed of
But it's how much you can share
It's not how much your share is
It's what you choose to bear
'Cause it's not just what you're born with
Lyrics by Si Kahn

Chorus:

Brought pain to someone else
'Til almost everything he did
Grew twisted on itself
But his heart just like a laurel
And his mind so sharp and keen
His body like a greyhound
He's strong and tall and lean
You must know someone like him
