Do A Little Good

I used to think that I was sure of what made people tick
 You strip 'em down right to their core and find a self-centered prick
 I thought when the push came to the shove, I knew just what I'd do
 I'd put me before you (but you didn't) I guess I didn't
 You can be a cynic, and a sinner who can only see the flaws
 But even if you lost your way, you don't have to stay a lost cause
 So can we do a little good?
 Maybe give a little more?
 Work a little harder than we did the day before
 It only takes a little good
 And some doin' what you can
 Takin' every chance to make the choice to be a better man
 So do a little good
 ♪
 Oh, I have spent each Christmas day, obsessed with wrong and right
 You thought change could only work one way, it had to happen in one night
 But now you know, oh, now you know, the line of good and bad is not so clean
 And what we are is somethin' in-between
 It's an everyday decision, two steps forward, one step back
 But if you try to do what's right, you're on the right track
 So try to do a little good
 Maybe give a little more
 Work a little harder than you did the day before
 (Work a little harder)
 It only takes a little good
 And some doin' what you can
 Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man
 So do a little good (hey)
 Just a little, just a little, just a little (hey, hey)
 Maybe there's no magic wand
 Maybe there's no switch to flip
 (Oh, oh) some days you may soar beyond
 Some days you may soar beyond
 And some days you start to slip
 You can give the world some good
 In the daily give-and-take
 With every ripple, ripple, ripple that you make
 Do a little good (do a little good)
 Maybe give a little more (give a little more)
 Work a little harder than you did the day before
 (Doin' the world a little good)
 It only takes a little good (just a little good)
 And some doin' what you can (do what you can)
 Takin' every chance to make the choice to help your fellow man, yeah
 And whether it's Christmas day
 Or a random day in May (or a day in May)
 You're gonna wanna say
 That you tried the best you could
 And a little is enough
 A little is enough, a little is enough
 So do a little good, hey!
 (Just a little) do a little good
 (Just a little) do a little good
 (Just a little) do a little good
 Do a little good, give a little more
 (Do a little good) some days you may soar beyond (hey, just a little, just a little)
 Do a little good
