People saving whales And giving your thanks to our seas My respect to the ones in the forest Standing up for our old trees Them giving food to the hungry Giving hope to the needy Giving life to a baby, giving care for free 'Cause there is freedom around us We have everything we need and I will care for you 'Cause you care for me And we all have opinions, some of them get through But there's better people with more good to do, good to do What I have could be a message Or just some words from my heart My respect to the ones making changes For all the lives they'll give their all Like giving food to the hungry Giving hope to the needy Giving life to a baby, giving care for free 'Cause there is freedom around us We have everything we need and I will care for you 'Cause you cared for me And we all have opinions, some of them get through But there's better people with more good to do, good to do When our world keeps spinning round and round it goes Mother Nature keeps spreading its disease And our children keep growing up with What they know through what we teach and what they see And so only a question of the time we have And the lives that our children need As they can only keep growing up with What they know through what we teach and what they see Like giving food to the hungry Giving hope to the needy Giving life to a baby, giving care for free 'Cause there is freedom around us We have everything we need and I will care for you 'Cause you care for me We all have opinions, some of them get through But there's better people with more good to do, good to do Oh good to do
