Must Be Something (It’s Your World Version) Lyrics
[Intro: Gil Scott-Heron]
Don’t it make you feel like doing something? Go on, do that too. Run that one more time. Yeah, yeah, that’s my man there. Seem like we ought to be able to get about 350- or 400-part harmony in this if we tried hard enough, so come with us
[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Must be something
Must be something we can do
There must be something
Must be something we can do
We didn’t come all this way just to give up
We didn’t struggle all this time to say we’ve had enough, yeah
Had enough
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Must be something
Must be something we can do (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There must be something
There must be something we can do
We didn’t come all this way in the dead of night
To give up now that we can see the light
See the light
[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Just like music
Just like music that we make
That fills the spirit
And helps to see a clearer day
Don’t it make you feel like doing something? Go on, do that too. Run that one more time. Yeah, yeah, that’s my man there. Seem like we ought to be able to get about 350- or 400-part harmony in this if we tried hard enough, so come with us
[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Must be something
Must be something we can do
There must be something
Must be something we can do
We didn’t come all this way just to give up
We didn’t struggle all this time to say we’ve had enough, yeah
Had enough
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Must be something
Must be something we can do (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There must be something
There must be something we can do
We didn’t come all this way in the dead of night
To give up now that we can see the light
See the light
[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Just like music
Just like music that we make
That fills the spirit
And helps to see a clearer day
[Bridge: Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Tell you something
Tell you something you can do
Said, “Keep on moving”
Said, “Keep on moving for what’s true” (Way down deep, you know what truth is)
I’ll tell you something
I’ll tell you something you can do
Said, “Keep on moving”
Said, “Keep on moving for what’s true”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Gil Scott-Heron]
Thank you very much. Must be something we can do
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron, Victor Brown, and Brian Jackson]
Tell you something
Tell you something you can do
Said, “Keep on moving”
Said, “Keep on moving for what’s true” (Way down deep, you know what truth is)
I’ll tell you something
I’ll tell you something you can do
Said, “Keep on moving”
Said, “Keep on moving for what’s true”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro: Gil Scott-Heron]
Thank you very much. Must be something we can do
