I heard somebody had a hard day out there
I had a hard one, too.
We could count 'em all up and see who wins;
Who do you think would have more, me or you?
Feeling sorry might work but not for long;
We don't have that luxury of time.
So I've got an idea that might help us both
And it starts with a question of mine;
What can I do for you today?
How can I help in some small way
It would be such a gift to me, it's true,
If you'd let me do one little thing for you.
What can I do?
There's a whole lot of things that I can't make
Can't build a house or meditate
But I know there is one thing I can create;
I can make some time.
Though the older I get, the faster it flies
I spend it like crazy, no surprise
But when my pockets are empty, my credit's declined
I'll know that at least I gave you some ti-i-ime
What can I do for you today?
How can I help in some small way?
It would be such a gift to me, it's true,
If you'd let me do one little thing for you
What can I do?
Such a noisy and crazy earth out there
We are neighbors in crisis, everywhere
Just in case you were thinking no one cares
Someone may prove you wrong
People all over this world need love
Some won't be lucky to get enough
That's why I'm hoping that you'll understand
How we'll both get ahead if I give you a ha-a-a-and
What can I do for you today?
How can I help in some small way?
It would be such a gift to me, it's true,
If you'd let me do one little thing for you
What can I do?
