What Can I Do

Down here in the city
I'm not ready for what I see
Children, hard and empty
Shake a fist at reality
A young boy takes the rap for daddy's sin
The odds against him that he'll ever win

What can I do
To make it better
What can I do
To make it right
What can I do
To lead him to higher ground
What can I do
To turn the tide around

Street life ain't too pretty
Gets you dirty, chained up with fear
Angry desperation, the frustration
Choking back the tears
A young girl hates the life she's living in
She's sinking lower than she's ever been

What can I do
To make it better
What can I do
To make it right
What can I do
To lead her to higher ground
What can I do
To turn the tide around

Oh, what can I do
What can I do

Show me, show me
If You were standing in my shoes
Tell me, Lord, what'd You do
To help them survive
Keep love alive

What can I do
To make it better
What can I do
To make it right
What can I do
To help them both survive

What can I do
To make it better
What can I do
To make it right
What can I do
To keep love alive

What can, what can I do
What can I do, make it better
What can, what can I do
What can I do, make it right
What can, what can I do
What can I do, to keep love alive...
