Sheryl Crow - The Good Fight

Think before you talk
It matters what we do
Gotta keep your head

To get the message though
Lead from the left
And do what's right
It's gettin' harder every day
To put up the good fight

Every night, I hope and pray
Tomorrow brings us a brighter day
But I know nothing will change
If I don't get up and try

It's time for me to do my part
But it's gotta come straight from my heart
I wanna take the high road
Right into this great divide

No weapons and no abuse
Love is eternal truth
And the life we live is
Nothing less than a miracle

But it's a shame, now it's a mess
Such a lack of tenderness
We need to rid ourselves of everything
That is criminal

Turn away from bigotry
And hold your head up high
Don't lose your dignity, 'cause if you do
No one will hear you cry, so

Think before you talk (think before you talk)
It matters what we do (matters what you do)
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left (you gotta do what's right)
Do what's right
It's gettin' harder every day
To put up the good fight (good fight)
(Good fight)

Feel the heat now from the sun
It's getting hotter for everyone
And the wind and rain
Seem so confused by our vanity
Yeah

If there's a lesson to be learned
It's how to keep from being burned
Pay attention to the greater good
And your sanity

Take time to spread the word
Tell everyone you know
Make sure that you are heard
We need to plant that seed
Then watch it grow, so

Think before you talk (think before you talk)
It matters what we do (matters what you do)
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left (you gotta do what's right)
Do what's right
It's gettin' harder every day
To put up the good fight (good fight)
(Good fight)

See that fool upon the hill
He's tring to hard to break our will
But the truth will perservere
If we refuse to bend

We can't stop, we cannot wait
'Cause we deserve a better fate
If we stand as one
This tattered world could be on the mend

Our children will awake
In the world we pass along
No matter what their faith
We can't let hatred fill our song, so

Think before you talk (think before you talk)
It matters what we do (matters what you do)
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left (you gotta do what's right)
Do what's right
It's gettin' harder every day
To put up the good fight (good fight)
(Good fight)

Good fight
Good fight
Good fight
Good fight
