Do A Little Good (Squeaky Clean Version)

I used to think that I was sure

Of what made people tick

You strip 'em down right to their core

And find they're self-centered and sick

I thought when the push came to the shove

I knew just what I'd do

I'd put me before you

But you didn't

I guess I didn't

You can be a cynic and a sinner

Who can only see the flaws

But even if you lost your way

You don't have to stay a lost cause

So can we do a little good?

Maybe give a little more?

Work a little harder than we did the day before

It only takes a little good

And some doin' what you can

Takin' every chance to make the choice to be a better man

So do a little good

Well, I have spent each Christmas Day

Obsessed with wrong and right

You thought change could only work one way

It had to happen in one night

But now you know, oh, now you know

The line of good and bad is not so clean

And what we are is somethin' in-between

It's an everyday decision

Two steps forward, one step back

But if you try to do what's right

You're on the right track

So try to do a little good

Maybe give a little more

Work a little harder than you did the day before (Work a little harder)

It only takes a little good

And some doin' what you can

Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man

So do a little good (Hey)

Just a little, just a little, just a little (Hey, hey)

Maybe there's no magic wand

Maybe there's no switch to flip

Some days you may soar beyond

Some days you may soar beyond

And some days you start to slip

You can give the world some good

In the daily give-and-take

With every ripple, ripple, ripple that you make

Do a little good (Do a little good)

Maybe give a little more (Give a little more)

Work a little harder than you did the day before (Doin' the world a little good)

It only takes a little good (Just a little good)

And some doin' what you can (Do what you can)

Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man, yeah

And whether it's Christmas Day

Or a random day in May (Or a day in May)

You're gonna wanna say

That you tried the best you could

And a little is enough

A little is enough

A little is enough

So do a little good (Hey)

Do a little good, do a little good (Do a little good)

Do a little good

Give a little more (Do a little good)

Some days you may soar beyond

Do a little good (Do a little good)
