Day by day my life gets colder
My eyes grows thin as I get older
Peace in pieces, bloody and bruised
I feel so helpless and confused
'Cause I hear screaming on the left
Yelling on the right
I'm sitting in the middle
Trying to live my life
'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world
And make things fair
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
The least that I can do is care
Ooh, yeah, ooh
I pray and pray for life's salvation
Faith is tried and true in tribulation
Love is lost and lonely, check the news
And with these open arms I'll wait for you
'Cause I hear screaming on the left
Yelling on the right
I'm sitting in the middle
Trying to live my life
'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world
And make things fair
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
The least that I can do is care
For the life of me
I can't see how the devil keeps enticing me
All you see is a felon
I know God can see what's right in me
How I can be labeled
As a villain in the first place
When the worst case scenario
Is my birth place
I'm just trying to keep from falling
Victim to the murder rate
Take my life lesson
Convincing the adolescents
There's a God up in heaven
Sending down blessings
And your future ain't brighter than your present
Quit stressing
Screaming on the left
And yelling on the right
While I'm sitting in the middle
Trying to live my life
'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world
And make things fair
Yeah, I wish I could do it though
The least that I can do is care
No, I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world
And make things fair, no, no, no, no
The least that I could do it though
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
I'll tell you what I can do
The least that I can do
Oh, is care
Yes, I can care
Did you know I can care?
Yes, I can care
This is what you can do
Care, oh yeah, care, care, care
Day by day my life gets colder
My eyes grows thin as I get older
Peace in pieces, bloody and bruised
I feel so helpless and confused

I'll tell you what I can do
The least that I can do
Oh, is care
Yes, I can care
Did you know I can care?
Yes, I can care
This is what you can do
Care, oh yeah, care, care, care
Care oh, what a beautiful word
For those who had somebody to care
Where they go, what they do, what they say
And if they are happy or blue
Care, wish I could recall how it was
When somebody cared long ago
'Cause the difference is driving me out of my mind
And the difference I'd sooner not know
Life in two dollar rooms and cheap hotels
They mean less and less every day
So if I don't see tomorrow
Well, who's gonna care anyway
Oh care, wish I could recall
How it was and the way our love used to be
But the difference is that I'll always care
And now you don't care about me
Oh care, oh, what a beautiful word
For those who have somebody to just care
Where they go, what they do, what they say
I see them everyday, strangers in a way
But I know them all the same
You can't see them in the light, they're obscured
from your sight
It's not a matter of wrong or right
They think there's nothing to fight for,
that there is no cause
Just live a life of pleasure without any rules or laws
Now more than ever is the time to open your eyes
Don't turn your head away,
got to keep questioning why
Care, you've got to care,
search for a way to live more than a day
Care, no one seems to care, lives are filled with hate
they resign themselves to fate
Talk about nuclear wars and all the other wrongs
Make the world a desperate place for any kind of race
Another holocaust, how can you measure the cost
With no experience how can you feel the loss
You all live in apathy,
the war won't come to your country
But what gives anyone the right
to keep the world in such a fright
I see them everyday, strangers in a way
But I know them all the same
Care, you ve got to care,
search for a way to live more than a day
Care, no one seems to care, lives are filled with hate
they resign themselves to fate
Care, you can't despair,
the madness causing fear is all that you hear
Care, you've got to care,
This face I know from the start
These smiling eyes have placed a chill into my heart
And there'll be times when we're apart
I keep you right with me with all my best regard
I never told you that the world is always fair
I always warned you of the times when you despair
I cannot defend you but I'll try and will be there
All that I can give is care
Carefully you've planned your part
The steps you made were never meant to lead so far
Are you prepared to play this card?
Dear marjia I often think of you
wondering what the world is going through
for the moment your world is all in white
seems to me your covering all the spite
Findin' out what I was lookin' for in my head
the smiling politicians I forgot instead
frozen tears from heaven all over the world
the sun, the moon, the stars and birds they won't be hurt
Care - nature's voice cannot be heard
Hey - this is junk food generation
they will eat - and not think twice
they will gladly die so nice
Dear jesus I often think of you
wonderin' who is tellin' me the truth
for the moment the air is cold and clear
seems to me we're killing al the fear
a joke is good as long as it relieves the pain
As long as people laughing loudest are the same
substitution for the snowfall won't be found
spoofing entertainment sells another round
Care - nature's voice cannot be heard
Hey - this is junk food generation
they will eat - and not think twice
they will gladly die so nice
Cannot hear the words coming out of your mouth
Cannot hear the words coming out of your mouth
Can no longer hear the words coming out of your mouth
Can no longer hear the words coming out of your mouth
Care - nature's voice cannot be heard
Hey - this is junk food generation
they will eat - and not think twice
they will gladly die so nice
You can not escape, I'm bound to keep those eyes awake do
you love me still?
And if I find that you're asleep, my hands will go for
tickly feet, when you wake up I'm in heaven
Oh heavenly girl understand, and play along with this
young man cause I need it so
And could you love me even more though I been pretty bad
before, when you wake up I'm in heaven,
can't you see?
With the morning sun we can have some fun
I'm in love with you!
When the evening rain make me sad again
I feel lonely too
Do you love me? Do you care for me?
You work all day we play all night, that's what I want to
do alright could you love me still?
I know that she is slightly older but that's no excuse
I've told her: Wake up, I'm in heaven
My silent smile my hidden cry
My silent smile is there just
Hiding all what you've done
I guess this time you don't wanna fight
I guess I have to accept you are for whoever tries
I know that all your friends make fun of my disgrace
I know you lead them
I know that everytime you leave you spit my name
I know you don't
Care, you just don't care
I can't get away from this because
Trying is sometimes so far from my hands up
I say that I miss
But I can't feel what I had and now is lost
My only friend has been this chair
My only friend since walking for me is dreaming awake
I bet that's why you can stay awake
I bet that's why you told me I'm not lonely no way
I know you feel that I'm too heavy for your wings
I know you feel that
I know that you don't have respect for all of this
I know you don't
You crash my future
And then you want me
To think you now
Hold me tight
I'm trying to separate myself [x2]
Hold me tight
I'm trying to educate myself [x2]
What if I ever lost you?
Would I dare?
What if you ever lost me?
Would you care?
Care [x3]
Hold me tight
I'm trying not to lose myself [x2]
Hold me tight
And show me how to prove myself [x2]
What if I ever lost you?
Would I dare?
What if you ever lost me?
Would you care?
Care [x7]
Nobody told me what to do
Nobody told me what to say
Nobody said it'd be this way
No way
Nobody told me what to do
Nobody told me what to say
Nobody said it'd be this way
No way, no way that you
You're not undercover,
You're just connected to the shame,
Of your secret lover,
It never works out in the end.
If it keeps on going,
You might lose your only friend.
It's all connected baby,
It's all connected to our brains,
Think a little harder,
When your feeling all alone.
For heaven's sake I have been screaming at you all the time.
It makes no sense how he treats you,
How could you miss the signs.
He's been cheating on you,
Messin' with your head.
I only say it cause I care.
Maybe I dream about you,
Maybe I'm too afraid to say,
I think about you every second of the day.
He's a hypocrite
And he should be locked up in a cage.
Its all connected baby,
Its all connected to out brains.
Think a little harder,
When your feeling all alone.
For heaven's sake I have been screaming at you all the time.
It makes no sense how he treats you,
How could you miss the signs.
He's been cheating on you,
Messin' with your head.
I only say it cause I care,
Say it cause I care.
(I only say it cause I care)
For heaven's sake I have been screaming at you all the time.
It makes no sense how he treats you,
How could you miss the signs.
He's been cheating on you,
Messin' with your head.
I only say it cause I care.
For heaven's sake I have been screaming at you all the time.
It makes no sense how he treats you,
How could you miss the signs.
He's been cheating on you,
Messin' with your head.
I only say it cause I care,
Say it cause i care.
