about

We have so much energy when it comes to helping ourselves, and yet we are often slow to offer that energy to the cause of humanity.....I wonder why that is. There are far too many people in all walks of life, especially public office, who take the easy option over the right one. Life is never easy to navigate, I know that as well as anyone, but it's important to try. You gotta stand for something.

lyrics

Everybody got a cross to bear
Yet everybody's trying to get somewhere
Everybody's got their fight to fight
But what so wrong with trying to do things right?

What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
Nothing good will come without a fight
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?

Everybody says that life ain't fair
Yet everybody's out to get their share
We feed the greed and we concede the fight
But what's so wrong with trying to do things right?

What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
Nothing good will come without a fight
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?

I believe that in the heart of man
There's something makes us do the best we can
Let's drag it kicking out in to the light
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?

What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
Nothing good will come without a fight
What's so wrong with trying to do things right?
