Why Can’t People Do
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

Why can’t people do
What they say they’re gonna do
Why do they make promises
And never see them through
Always working something somewhere
Way outside the lines Living in the shadows
In extraordinary times

That might sound like a blessing
But it's a Chinese curse
Time to start addressing
That it’s bad and getting worse
What we call integrity
It all comes down to you and me
Otherwise we come to be
A travesty, a fantasy

That may be enough for you
It ain't enough for me
What you are is what You see
Divine aristocracy
Fronting your nobility
You claim to be royalty
I just don’t buy all your lies
I can read them in your eyes
Seven deadly alibis
When you speak an Angel cries

CHORUS:
Do what you say
And Love what you do
Ask lots of question
Let answers come through
Keep your eyes open
Let your light shine through
Do what you say
And Love what you do

You’ll change everything
In the blink of an eye
Let your heart sing
As you rise in the sky
You’ll never get there
If you still have to lie
And you may not care
When I say goodbye

That might be a lot
Of what I have to say
I never imagined
I’d send you away
Maybe Come back
On another new day
Singing this song
When you come out to play

CHORUS:
Do what you say
And Love what you do
Ask lots of question
Let answers come through
Keep your eyes open
Let your light shine through
Do what you say
And Love what you do
