    Care

    by: Kid Rock

    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, ooh
    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 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 do it 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
    The least that I could do it though
    The least that I can do
    The least that I can do
    I'll tell you what I can do
    The least that I can do
    Oh, is care
    Yes, I can care
    Did you know I can care?
    Yes, I can care
    This is what you can do
    Care, oh yeah, care, care, care
