Can I shut my eyes
_____
A whole life till the graveyard
_____
Can I open my door
_____
Only so I can go out
_____
Can I count on myself
_____
Without counting those who bear their pain
_____
Look at them without even seeing them
_____
And look at myself in a mirror
It's your business, yours
It's everybody's business
_____
The smart ones, the little people
And everything that moves
_____
Can I pretend to believe
_____
That it never rains on my sidewalk
_____
Could I say I've forgotten
_____
When my final hour has struck
_____
Is happiness just as complete
_____
If only mine can enjoy it
_____
Is the song of men crying for help
_____
Not the most beautiful love song
It's your business, yours
It's everybody's business
_____
The smart ones, the little people
And everything that moves
_____
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's everybody's business
_____
The weak and the great
And everything that moves
