[Bm]
You must know someone like him [G] He was tall and strong and lean
[A] With a body like a greyhound [B] And a mind so sharp and keen
[Bm] But his heart just like a laurel Who twisted round itself
[A]
Till almost everything he did Brought pain to someone else
Well it's not just what you're born [D] with It's what you choose to bear
[A] It's not how big your share [Bm] is It's how much you can share
It's not the fights you dreamed [G] of It's those you really fought
[B] [A] It's not what you've been [Bm] given It's what you do with what you've got
[D] Oh, what's the use of two strong [G] legs If you only run away
And [Bm] what's the use of the finest voice [A] If you've nothing good to say
[D]
What's the use in strengthening [G] my soul If you only push and shove
[Em]
And what's the use of two good [A] ears If you can't hear those you love

[D] What's the use in strengthening [G] my soul If you only push and [Em] shove
And what's the use of two good [A] ears If you can't hear those you [D] love
Between those who use their [G] neighbors And those who use the [Em] cane
Between those in constant [A] power And those in constant [D] pain
Between those who run to glory And those who cannot run
[Em] Tell me which ones are the
[A] cripples And which ones touch the [D] sun
