lyrics
Oh my precious one
We're facing disaster
Not at all what I wanted for you when you were small
The peace we thought we'd won
Lies in tatters
Chaos pours down once again to drown us all
So you ask yourself how in the world can I make it all right?
With all your might
Put a feather on the scale
Do whatever good is possible for you to do
You might think that you can't change the world
'Cause your feather's too light
But you must do what's right
So that millions more can follow you
People pray for peace
The world over
Then they fight to the death over how it's achieved
They'd rather be right
Than be happy
How unhappy they would be to be right you wouldn't believe
So you ask yourself "what can I do that will make this all right?"
Well hold on tight
And put a feather on the scale
Do whatever good is possible for you to do
You might think that you can't save the world
One feather's so light
But if you do what's right
Then millions more can follow you
We're facing disaster
Not at all what I wanted for you when you were small
The peace we thought we'd won
Lies in tatters
Chaos pours down once again to drown us all
So you ask yourself how in the world can I make it all right?
With all your might
Put a feather on the scale
Do whatever good is possible for you to do
You might think that you can't change the world
'Cause your feather's too light
But you must do what's right
So that millions more can follow you
People pray for peace
The world over
Then they fight to the death over how it's achieved
They'd rather be right
Than be happy
How unhappy they would be to be right you wouldn't believe
So you ask yourself "what can I do that will make this all right?"
Well hold on tight
And put a feather on the scale
Do whatever good is possible for you to do
You might think that you can't save the world
One feather's so light
But if you do what's right
Then millions more can follow you
