Put It to Use
Your father told you so long ago
That the sky ain't falling down, it's just hangin' low
Your mother made you, raised you up well
She could not save you from yourself

They taught you all they knew
Time's comin', time is comin'
Put it to use

Your grandma showed you what was wrong from right
There were lessons learned right by her side
Your grandpa was a hard working man
With a patient heart and a steady hand

They taught you all they knew
Time's comin', time is comin'
Put it to use

Well you are not my enemy
Sometimes I fear it is me
We stand on the shoulders of those that came before
But we can't just depend on them anymore
They taught us all they knew
Time's comin', time is comin'
Put it to use
They taught us all they knew
Time's comin', time is comin'
Put it to use
