Lyrics

WHAT YOU DO

(Based on KANSAS guitarist Kerry Livgren's childhood experience with his aunt who turned him on to classical music )

VERSE 1

A small boy with an open heart
A cruel world that could have torn him apart, but she said no, that's not the way it goes. Come inside and listen a while, he heard things that made him smile.

CHORUS

What you do, what you say, what you give away, you get out what you put in. Make it count, work it out, you can plant a seed, they'll go where they have been.

VERSE 2

A young man with a gifted mind studied hard and put in the time and here he goes, out on the open road. Sit down and listen a while, you'll hear things that will make you smile.
