Lately mother earth has been feeling unsatisfied,nA taste plain from the rain the sweet lady started to cry,nFires crackle and blaze in the rays of a burning heart,nand I don't think it's smart to,nLay and wait for the day that she dies in our arms.nnWe gotta do something,nWe gotta do something,nBefore mother earth gets anymore hurt,nWe gotta do something!nnYou might have read there's a lotta bad stuff in the world today,nIt's been said it's getting rough to find a place where the children play,nSo, Mr Prime Minister and Mr President you better see that it'snnot only me, no, our mob is rising in size,nand they've been dying to scream out to you!nnYou gotta do something,nWe gotta do something,nSometimes I sit in my room and I don't know what to do,nbut we've gotta do something!nnIt's time to do something,nSomeone should do something,nWe gotta do something,nand that someone is you,nand you and you and you!nnI pray it ain't all lost and gone,nI pray we might learn right from wrong,nand I pray this broken day, will not last too long,nI pray that you believe my song ... Darlin'!nnYou know I'm sorry if this is hard for you to take,nBut a lot of it just needs saying,nand I don't see anyone else out there,ngiving out this message,nand if I don't do this, Who's gonna do it?nAnd maybe, if someone hears these words,nmaybe the whole world gets round and listens,nto what I'm sayin', and maybe we have a chance.nBecause I don't wanna see another child crying,nI don't wanna see another dog, dyin' in the streets,nI can't see another homeless man, because it doesn't seem right to me,nHe's got a home, and he's not got a home,nWhat's the point in that?nWhy can't we all just get together, in one big home,nand if I was in Government,nThen I'd Government things much more differentlier,nbecause it ain't the best way to government things,nSo there's poor people everywhere,nYou know I would just be sittin' alone,nThinkin' How can I do something?,n'Cos I ain't gonna be in chains no-more,nYou lot might have been conned, but I ain't been conned,n'Cos I'm a free man, I'm free, and I'm gonna let my soul soar,nand the way I do that is through my music,nso why don't you, do something?
