"Do What You're Able"

Only once in a great while did I attempt to write a dumb pop song. Even less often did I try to write a dumb folk song. This was the result. It’s a dumb folk song, all right, so in that sense, I succeeded. The better goal, however, would have been to write a GOOD dumb folk song or a GOOD dumb pop song. It’s harder than you think. Go ahead. Try it. All those “Dumb” songs on the radio aren’t so dumb after all.

Do What You're Able

© Brian Hutzell 1985

Do what you're able

Do what you can

Do what you want to

For your fellow man

Go where you want to

Go where you can

Go where you're needed

By your fellow man

Say what comes easy

Say what you can

Speak up for justice

For your fellow man

Be someone useful

Be what you can

Be willing and able

To help your fellow man

"Tex"
