Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
it don’t matter what you've got
only matters what you’ve been.
Take the high road when you can,
get your head out of the sand,
find a place to make your stand,
hey, you’ve got to be a better man.
To everyone comes quid pro quo,
yours will come, now, don't you know?
When the credits roll to fin
only really matters what you’ve been.
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
it don’t matter what you've got,
only matters what you’ve been.
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
only matters what you’ve been, ooo, ooo
People always lookin’ out for me, me, me
but what we gonna give to the Giving Tree?
When we gonna stop putting out our hand
and give the world a better man?
Really don't matter how you take the hook—
whether Bible verse or a science book,
there's more than one way to be damned
so you gotta give while you can.
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
it don’t matter what you've got,
only matters what you’ve been.
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
only matters what you’ve been, ooo, ooo
Days are short and it won’t be long
(Hey, you got to be a better man)
we’ll wake up wondering where the time has gone
(Hey, you got to be a better man)
Have no regrets when you look behind
(Hey you got to be a better man)
Don’t wonder if you could have been more kind.
Lord knows we get just one chance,
we are only a stitch in time
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
it don’t matter what you've got,
only matters what you’ve been.
Put the paper to the pen,
add it up, but in the end
only matters what you’ve been, ooo, ooo
