Lyrics

Go to work I make an honest living Every night I give thanks for all I've been given In the morning I skim the paper, drink my coffee With every word I read, what bothers me Is I'm becoming indifferent I can sit and watch the world in trouble Crumble from the sideline Or maybe I can make a difference [Chorus] How long will I wait, standing still? How long can my faith keep its will? I've been leaving it up to everyone else Hoping it might change itself Time to offer up more than my good will How long will I wait, standing still? Know a man Who picks up trash around our town Bags on both his hands He oughta wear a crown Dare I say that I used to call him crazy Now it occurs to me that there's a peace in the path he's found He says I can't explain exactly why I'm doing this But imagine if everybody did [Chorus] How long will I wait, standing still? How long can my faith keep its will? I've been leaving it up to everyone else Hoping it might change itself Time to offer up more than my good will Should anyone ever go hungry? Should anyone sleep on the streets? We're drilling holes in our sacred land while we're guzzling gasoline Should anyone ever go hungry? Should anyone sleep on the streets? We're drilling holes in our sacred land while we're guzzling gasoline How long? How long? I've been leaving it up to everyone else Hoping it might change itself Time to offer up more than my good will No more standing still No more standing still No more standing still
