 Good to do

 Or just some words from my heart

 For all the lives theyll give their all

           B                               F#            
 When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes
        B                              F#   
 Human nature keeps on spreading its disease
          B                             F#           
 And our children keep growing up with what they know
 Ab C# 
   
           B                      F#         
 And it's only a question of the time we have
           B                      C# 
 And the lives that our children need
                B                          F#           
 Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know
             Ab                    C# 
 And what we teach, and what they see
 
                   F#           
 Like giving food to the hungry,
 B                 
 Hope to the needy,
       C#              
 Giving life to a baby,
        B             
 Giving care for free,
                 F#                
 'Cause there is freedom around us,
         B                  
 We have everything we need,
            C#           
 And I will care for you,
            B           
 'Cause you care for me.
          F#              
 And we all have opinions,
 B                        
 Some of them get through,
            C#            
 But theres better people,
           B          
 With more good to do.

 Good to do
              F# B C# C#
