From the recording CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO
Lyrics
RIGHT BY YOU
(Carroll)
The road won’t wait for me
I know how you hate for me to go
Homework’s much for me
Flight’s the only luxury I know
It’s a test of faith on the best of days
Trying to do
Trying to do what’s right
Whatever I do
Trying to do what’s right
I‘m thinking it through
The darkness into the light
Trying to do what’s right by you
The fight’s right in front of me
Troubles scheme and run to me daily
Suffer the children unto me
Cold, sick, hungry pleas, save me
Once we’re on the other side
No need to run just hide
Now what are you going to do?
You try to do what’s right
The brave and the true
Trying to do what’s right
Bringing them through
The darkness into the light
And you’re going to do what’s right by you
A what’s wrong sigh that was
Once a long cry of elation
From lust to must-do
Lists of quiet frustration
If I only knew
How to bring it home to you
That’s what I’d do
I’d try to do what’s right
It’s making me blue
Trying to do what right
I’m searching for clues
Whenever you’re far from sight
But I want to do what’s right
Trying to do
Trying to do what’s right
The noble pursue
Trying to do what’s right
Searching for clues
Whenever your far from site
And I wanna do what’s right by you
I want do what’s right by you
I’m trying to do what’s right by you
