Like giving food to the hungry,
B
Hope to the needy,

Giving life to a baby,

Giving care for free,

'Cause there is freedom around us,
B
We have everything we need,
C#
And I will care for you,
B
'Cause you care for me.

And we all have opinions,
B
Some of them get through,
C#
But theres better people,
B
With more good to do.
