Day by day, my life gets colder
My eyes grows thin as I get older
Peace in pieces, bloody and bruised
I feel so helpless and confused

'Cause I hear
Screaming on the left
Yelling on the right
I'm sitting in the middle trying to live my life

'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world and make things fair
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
The least that I can do is care

Ooh yeah
Oh

I pray and pray for life's salvation
Faith is tried and true in tribulation
Love is lost and lonely, check the news
And with these open arms I'll wait for you

'Cause I hear you
Screaming on the left
Yelling on the right
I'm sitting in the middle trying to live my life

'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world and make things fair
The least that I can do
The least that I can do
The least that I can do is care

For the life of me
I can't see how the devil keeps enticing me
All you see is a felon
I know God can see what's right in me
How I can be labeled as a villain in the first place
When the worst case scenario is my birth place
I'm just trying to keep from falling victim to the murder rate
Take my life lesson, convincing the adolescents there's a God up in heaven
Sending down blessings
And your future ain't brighter than your present, quit stressing

Screaming on the left
And yelling on the right
While I'm sitting in the middle
Trying to live my life

'Cause I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world and make things fair
(Yeah, I wish I could though)
The least that I can do is care

No, I can't stop the war
Shelter homeless, feed the poor
I can't walk on water
I can't save your sons and daughters
Well, I can't change the world and make things fair (no no no no)
(I wish I could though)
The least that I can do (is what I can do)
The least that I can do (I take with what I can do)
The least that I can do
Is to always care
Yes I can care
And you know I can care
Yes I can care
Is what you can do
