Make Something Good

I wanted to make something sweet The blood inside the maple tree The sunlight trapped inside the wood Make something good I wanted to make something strong An organ pipe in a cathedral That stays in tune through a thousand blooms Make something good It's gonna take a long, long time But we're gonna make something so fine I wanted to make something pure Emerald field from steer manure A wild-eyed child in a moonlit room Make something good I wanted to make something built to last A bottled ship with a golden mast And through the squall the course stays true Make something good Make something good It's gonna take a long, long time But we're gonna make something so fine It's gonna take a long, long time But we're gonna make something so fine
