gordon bok, ann mayo muir & ed trickett - what you do with what you got lyrics

[verse 1]
well, you must know someone like him
tall and strong and lean
body like a greyhound
with a 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]
it’s not just what you’re born with
it’s what you choose to bear
not how large your share is
but how much you can share
and it’s not the fights you dream of
but those you really fought
it’s not just what you’re given
it’s what you do with what you got

[verse 2]
for what’s the good of two strong legs
if you only run away?
and what good is the finest voice
if you’ve nothing good to say?
what good are strength and muscles
if you only push and shove?
what’s the use of two good ears
if you can’t hear those you love?
[chorus]
it’s not just what you’re born with
it’s what you choose to bear
it’s not how large your share is
but how much you can share
and it’s not the fights you dream of
but those you really fought
it’s not just what you’re given
it’s what you do with what you got

[verse 3]
between those who use their neighbors
and those who use a cane
between those in constant power
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?
