The right thing 6

[

Verse 1

There comes a moment when the weight comes down

When it's easier to turn and walk away

Close your eyes, let it slide, let it drown

Pretend you never saw the price you'd pay

Pre-Chorus

Look in the mirror, deep in your soul

There's only one road left to take

Chorus

Wrong or right, black or white

I do the right thing

Or I carry this weight

For the rest of my life

Wrong or right, black or white

I do the right thing

This is who I am

This is the man I'll be

Verse 2

It takes courage, it takes everything I've got

To stand my ground when the whole world walks away

Someday this will cost me more than I thought

But some things are worth the price I pay

Pre-Chorus

Look in the mirror, deep in your soul

There's only one road left to take

Chorus

Wrong or right, black or white

I do the right thing

Or I carry this weight

For the rest of my life

Wrong or right, black or white

I do the right thing

This is who I am

This is the man I'll be

Bridge — half-time breakdown

I don't want to be a hero

I don't need the world to see

I just want to be the man

I was raised to be

Final Chorus — gang vocals, double time

Wrong or right, black or white

I DO THE RIGHT THING

Or I carry this weight

For the rest of my life

Wrong or right, black or white

I DO THE RIGHT THING

This is who I am

This is the man I'll be
