Extra Mile

Lyrics

It could be a hungry hand begging on a street Of a stranger you don't know It could be a lonely heart calling in the night From a friend desperately alone Oh, you can look away And pretend you don't see But what would it cost you To do the right thing, yes Do the right thing What if we go the extra mile Every day of our lives What if the world changed in ways We wouldn't recognize And what if we give more So that there's enough to go around Would we find ourselves on higher ground What if, oh, what if we go the extra mile It could be a crying child orphaned by a war In a country you've never been before It could be a dyng man ravaged by disease With nobody there to comfort him Oh, you can look away And pretend you don't see But what would it cost you To do the right thing, yes Do the right thing What if we go the extra mile Every day of our lives What if the world changed In ways we wouldn't recognize And what if we give more So that there's enough to go around Would we find ourselves on higher ground What if, oh, what if we go the extra mile Oh, what if it was you Suffering the stress and the strife Reeling from the troubles of your life Wouldn't you want someone by your side What if we go the extra mile Every day of our lives What if the world changed In ways we wouldn't recognize And what if we give more So that there's enough to go around Would we find ourselves on higher ground What if, oh, what if we go the extra mile (Go, go, go the extra mile) Oh, what if we go the extra mile (Go, go, go the extra mile, ooh...)
