Story Behind The Song
The basic idea here to find a more pleasant way to ask the average person the hard questions in life, the way you can in a one to one conversation.
the video for this would be shot both ways at the front door, with all sorts of different people answering the door, and all sorts of life goin' on behind the singer at the door... kids on bikes, also listening, the postman, a courier, street hoods etc etc.. I have the design for the little badge mentioned in verse two as well ! ;>

1. Excuse me , have you got a minute,
Just 60 seconds of your time
I got a question, that you just might
have the answer to
Can you see, a new way we can make a
Difference in this world
And what would be the first thing you would do?
What would you change?
Would it be...
Ch Fresh water, world peace
or happy children on our streets
No wars, no locks
Ask your family if that means a lot
Can you help me
Let me know please - just check a box..
2. Well I don't have, no official tags, but
I'm wearing this badge for love
It's a heart my momma made when she was back in high school
This planet, is unravelling
Right here before our eyes
Can we pull the good ( right) threads together just in time?
... yeah,what's it gonna be? Is it
Rpt Chorus
Bridge:Coz bombs don't mix with babies
Making war is gonna drive us all crazy
Can we share a little bit more love
Can you check all of the above ...
intro x 2
3. Now I guess, that you might be thinkin'
I 'm crazy dreamin' like this
But you gotta believe what you wanna believe
And then try and make a world that fits
So before you, close your front door
Tell me what it is you stand for..
Look into your heart - what's it gonna be?
What's it gonna be? Is it
Ch Fresh water, world peace
or happy children on our streets
Clean air, there's so much more
What would you hold your hand up for
No wars, no locks
Ask your family if that means a lot
Can you help me can you
Let me know please
Can you help me
Let me know please - just check a box...
