Willing |
| About life, whether wrong or right |
| How you gotta be workin' hard |
| And it ain’t no easy job |
| To survive. |
| Just keep it alive |
| We’ve all come to think of ourselves as links |
| In a chain, so much to gain |
| We are the ones who tie our fathers to our sons |
| Don’t you know, that’s how we grow |
| What my life really means is that the songs that I sing |
| Are just pieces of a dream that I’ve been building |
| And we can make a stand and hey, I’m reachin' out my hand |
| 'Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing |
| But we gotta be… |
| We got to be willing |
| Well we’ve all been so close to getting in |
| It’s always nice, with no sacrifice |
| But times have changed and it’s no longer strange |
| To make a few corrections in our direction |
| 'Cause being strong is more than just holdin' on |
| To advance, you gotta take a chance |
| Waitin' on line, it ain’t nothin' but marking time |
| Won’t get nowhere, just standing there |
| What my life really means is that the songs that I sing |
| Are just pieces of a dream that I’ve been building |
| And we can make a stand and hey, I’m reachin' for your hand |
| 'Cause I know damn well we can if we are willing |
| But we gotta be… |
| We got to be willing |
