The Good Fight by Timothy B. Schmit Lyrics

[Schmit}
Think before you talk
It matters what we do
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left
Do what's right
It’s getting harder every day to put up the good fight

Every night I hope and pray
Tomorrow brings us a brighter day
But I know nothing will change if I don't get up and try
It's time for me to do my part but
It’s gotta come straight from my heart
I wanna take the high road right into this great divide

[Crow]
No weapons and no abuse
Love is eternal truth
And the life we live is nothing less than a miracle
But it's a shame now it's a mеss
Such a lack of tenderness
Wе need to rid ourselves of everything that is criminal
[Schmit]
Turn away from bigotry
And hold your head up high
Don't lose your dignity
'Cause if you do no one will hear you cry so

Think before you talk
It matters what we do
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left
Do what's right
It's getting harder every day to put up the good fight

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Feel the heat now from the sun
It's gettin’ hotter for everyone
And the wind and rain seems so confused by our vanity
Yeah

[Crow]
If there’s a lesson to be learned
It's how to keep from being burned
Pay attention to the greater good and your sanity
[Both]
Take time to spread the word
Tell everyone you know
Make sure that you are heard

[Schmit]
We need to plant that seed then watch it grow so

Think before you talk
It matters what we do
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left
Do what’s right
It's getting harder every day to put up the good fight

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

See the fool up on the hill
He's tryin' hard to break our will
But the truth will persevere if we refuse to bend
[Crow]
We can’t stop we cannot wait
'Cause we deserve a better fate
If we stand as one this tattered world could be on the mend

[Both]
Our children will await
In the world we pass along
No matter what their fate
We can't let hatred fill our song so

Think before you talk
It matters what we do
Gotta keep your head
To get the message through
Lead from the left
Do what's right
It's getting harder every day to put up the good fight

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Good fight
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey

Good fight
