Save the World
Shovels & Rope
when you're caught in the wave
of a terrible tide
suddenly you're struggling
to stay astride
so you calm your hands
and you cool your mind
and you wake up happy
on the other side
you got what it takes
you got what it takes
to save the world
when there is a trouble
you can not command
maybe it's God trying
to guide your hand
to shine a little light
upon where you stand
so that you can genuinely
understand
that you got what it takes
you got what it takes
to save the world
miracles happen
they happen every day
we don't know why
I guess we're just lucky that way
a homeless man
with no place to sleep
woke up to find
warm boots on his feet
and a warm cup of coffee
with sugar and cream
courtesy of the ole' NYPD
you got what it takes
you got what it takes
to save the world
