Mike Lindup - Courage To Change

How can we tell our children what to do
And who to be
In this world we're in?
If all of our generation stand accused
Of being the cause
Of the mess we're in?

Greatness doesn't fall from the tree
With any great frequency
Greatness doesn't fall naturally
It takes courage to change our ways

How can we look our children in the face
And explain our recent fall?
When I was young
The future was a beautiful place
Now it's hard to hear that spoken at all

Greatness doesn't fall from the tree
It's such a rarity
Greatness doesn't come naturally
It takes courage to change our ways

Out of the mouths of children comes such clarity
If we don't change our ways very soon
Where will we be?

Every day that dawns is a chance to review what to do
With the time we have
Whether it's large and loud or a quiet tiny step
Any change
Should make us feel proud

Greatness doesn't fall from the tree
It's such a rarity
Greatness doesn't come naturally
It takes courage to change our ways

Out of the mouths of children comes such clarity
If we don't change our ways very soon
Where will we be?

Greatness doesn't fall from the tree
It's such a rarity
Greatness doesn't come naturally
It takes courage to change our ways

Greatness doesn't fall from the tree
It's such a rarity
Greatness doesn't come naturally
It takes courage to change

It takes courage to change
It takes courage to change
It takes courage to change
