(D. Henley, T.B. Schmit, and S. Smith)


I've been walkin' through the fields

And on the streets of town

Trying to make sense of what you left me

Everything that I believed in

Has been turned upside down

And now it seems the whole wide world's gone crazy


But when I feel like giving up

And I'm ready to walk away

In the stillness, I can hear

A voice inside me say


Do something

Do something

It's too late for saving face

Don't just stand there takin' up space

Why don't you do something?

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late


You were always on my side

Love was all we had

Now I sit and watch our love unraveling

I pick up the morning paper

All the news is bad

How did we get on this road we're traveling?


But when I feel like giving up

And there's nowhere left to go

That's the time I dig down deep

The only thing I know


Do something

Do something

Don't leave it up for someone else

Don't feel sorry for yourself

Why don't you do something?

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late


Run away

You can't run away

For your honor

For your pride

You'll sleep better

Knowin' you tried


To do something

Do something

It's too easy not to care

You're not ready for the rockin' chair

Get up and do something

Do something

Don't wait too long

Even if it's wrong

You've got to do something

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late
