Barbara McAfee (from the CD While You're Alive)
Who you gonna BE while you do what you doHow you gonna show up while you’re passing though
I’m living in this question… You can too
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do
You can do all of the right things and still be a jerk
And a really bad temper can wreck a lot of fine work
There’s no sense of direction when you’re going berserk
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do
How you gonna show up while you’re passing though
I’m living in this question… You can too
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do
You can sit up in a corner and criticize
And try to cut people down to manageable size
When an idea hits the table
You can roll your eyes
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do
How you gonna show up while you’re passing though
I’m living in this question… You can too
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do
Now you can argue all night ‘bout the ends and the means
But if you don’t like who you are don’t mean a hill of beans
And at the end of the day, when your conscience convenes
Could be an ugly scene
You may not remember what you do or say
But people will remember how they felt along the way
You can leave a trail of blessing starting today
People could be glad to see you comin’ through that door
And when you’re running out of patience
You might find a little more
And you could be the hero you’ve been waiting for
So who you gonna BE while you do what you do
How you gonna show up while you’re passing through
I’m living in this question… You can too
Who you gonna BE while you do what ya
Who you gonna BE while you do what ya
Who you gonna BE while you do what you do!!!!!!!
