Would you do it differently?

Would you do it differently?

 

Would you do it differently?

Would you fight or bend your knee?

Would you shout out to the crowd?

Or keep the words inside, head bowed?

 

Would you do it differently?

Would you set the slave girl free?

Would you make a running leap?

Or go back home and silence keep?

 

Would you do it differently?

Would you teach others to see?

Would you take the child’s hand?

Or keep your walk across the sand?

 

If we could do it differently,

How do we know who we’d be?

Alas we cannot change the past,

But those actions are not your last.

 

Will you do it differently?

Will you listen to the plea?

Will you stand and fight with them?

Or leave them severed at the stem?

 

Will you do it differently?

Will you hand condemned the key?

Will you strive only to fly?

Or go back home and just lie?

 

Will you do it differently?

Will you brave the raging sea?

Will you spare that one kind word?

Or follow along with the herd?

 

Will you do it differently?

Will you act, will you just be?

Will you do it differently?

Today is here, we shall see.
