I know that he gave his life for me
Set all our spirits free
So I want to do right want to do right
All of my life
I never dreamed I could be holding you
Well he's making my dreams come true
So I want to do right, want to do right
I want to do right, oh

[Chorus:]
You've got to do right
Yes, you've got to do right
And he'll be your guiding light
But you've got to do right
And he'll be your guiding light

Listen to me people!

I used to say
Love was just game we play 
Now I see it in a different way
So I want to do right

Well he's making my dreams come true
So I want to do right, want to do right
I want to do right

[Chorus]

Listen to me people!

Well we just can't keep on livin' like we're livin'
We just can't keep on (livin' like we're livin')
Just can't keep on pushing to the limit
We just can't (can't keep on) 
Just can't keep on livin' like we're livin'
We just can't keep on (livin' like we're livin')
Just can't keep on pushing to the limit
We just can't (can't keep on) 
(Just can't keep on) Just can't keep on
(Just can't keep on) Living like we're living
(Just can't keep on) No we just can't!

Just can't keep on livin' like we're livin'
We just can't keep on
Just can't keep on pushing to the limit
We just can't
Don't you know we've got to do right
Oh-oh (do right), don't you know (do right)
And he'll be your guiding light, oooh.
