DON'T DO NUTHIN'
[ country-rock ]

When we turn on the tv news it seems there's trouble everywhere
Hearts filled with such dispair some stop beatin' out of fear
Many folks are down on their luck and could use a helpin' hand
Some need a second chance and others just need a friend

Don't do nuthin' just 'cause you can't do everything

A little love can turn a deep frown into the widest grin

Try an' do somethin' to ease the hunger an' the pain

No, don't do nuthin' just 'cause you can't do everything

You know, life's just a short race till we reach the finish line
But Rome wasn't built in a day, it went up a brick at a time
Day by day, step by step, if we help out where we can
We might jus' be over-achievers by the time we reach the end

No, don't do nuthin' just 'cause you can't do everything

Sometimes a tiny spark can ignite the brightest flame

Try an' do somethin' to ease the hunger an' the pain

No, don't do nuthin', just 'cause you can't do everything

Yeah, if we help out just a few folks and they help out a few folks, too
Before you know it, there really might not be all that much, helpin' out left to do

Yeah, don't do nuthin' just 'cause you can't do everything

We gotta try to know the feelin' inside makin' a difference brings

An' when we help the least among us, you know, we help the greatest king

So, don't do nuthin', just 'cause you can't do everything *

* Inspired by Stanley Mooneyham, former president of World Vision, International, who replied when asked in an interview why he would try to relieve hunger and disease in Africa, while it may seem so hopeless to even try: “Don't do nothing, just because you can't do everything.”
