What You Do With What You've Got - Eddi Reader[00:00:00]
You must know someone like him[00:00:37]
Who was tall and strong and lean[00:00:41]
With a body like a greyhound[00:00:44]
And a mind so sharp and keen[00:00:48]
But his heart just like a laurel[00:00:51]
Grew twisted round itself[00:00:55]
Till almost everything he did[00:00:59]
Brought pain to someone else[00:01:02]
It’s not just what you’re born with[00:01:09]
It’s what you choose to bear[00:01:13]
It’s not how big your share is[00:01:16]
It’s how much you can share[00:01:20]
It’s not the fights you dreamed of[00:01:23]
It’s those you really fought ah-wah [00:01:27]
It’s not what you’ve been given[00:01:31]
It’s what you do with what you’ve got[00:01:34]
What’s the use of two strong legs[00:01:44]
If you only run away[00:01:48]
And what’s the use of the finest voice[00:01:51]
If you’ve nothing good to say now ah[00:01:56]
What’s the use in strength and muscle[00:01:59]
If you only push and shove[00:02:02]
And what’s the use of two good ears[00:02:06]
If you can’t hear those you love[00:02:10]
Oh what’s the use of two strong legs[00:02:52]
If you only run away[00:02:56]
And what’s the use of the finest voice[00:02:59]
Hah-ee-ah hah-ee-ah[00:03:03]
What’s the use in strength and muscle[00:03:07]
If you only push and shove[00:03:10]
And what’s the use of two good ears[00:03:13]
If you can’t hear those you love[00:03:17]
Between those who use their neighbours[00:03:20]
And those who use the cane[00:03:24]
Between those in constant power[00:03:27]
And those in constant pain[00:03:32]
Between those who run to glory[00:03:35]
And those who cannot run[00:03:39]
Tell me which ones are the cripples[00:03:43]
And which ones touch the sun[00:03:46]
