Lyrics

Do Right By You
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2015, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

It’s true, it’s a crazy ol’ world
A mixed up, crazy world
Take care of your mind and open your heart
And let who you are ring true
Be in the flow but don’t go under with the flood
There will be many a flood
Think for yourself, no monkey see, monkey do
Can’t let others do the thinking for you

We’re born into this world
Raw clay on the potter’s wheel
Moment to moment, in the hands of time
Shaped by all that we feel

So, let me do right by you, brother
Need to do right by you, sister
Want to do right by you, brother
Let me do right by you, sister

So much trouble, so much noise
So much noise
A message of love can’t get through
Has a hard time getting through
Must I shout and rattle that cage?
Rattle that cage
Lines are drawn, the monkey see, monkey do
Can’t let others draw the lines for you

We’re born into this world
Raw clay on the potter’s wheel
Moment to moment, in the hands of time
Shaped by all that we feel

So, let me do right by you, brother
Need to do right by you, sister
Want to do right by you, brother
Let me do right by you, sister
