Lyrics
I'M WORKING ON MY THING
Me and my God know where I'm going
And you might not understand
So forgive me if I don't walk with you
Cause I've got to, do my thing
Cho
Got to be more than wishing and hoping
Got to be more like knowing and doing
When you see me, I'm not wasting time
Cause I'm busy, working on my thing
Bridge
The road may seem long and endless
As far as I can see
But then, my vision is bigger than my eyes
I know the world belongs to me
Leaving the past I'm pressing forward
To the work that I must do
While I'm loving, learning and giving
What I'm doing, is just my thing
Interlude (on bridge)
My vision is bigger than my eyes
'Cause the world belongs to me
I must do the work while it's day
Cause when the night comes
No one can work (rep)
Me and my God know where I'm going
And you might not understand
So forgive me if I don't walk with you
Forgive me if I don't stay with you
Forgive me..................... I've got to, do my thing
I've got to do my thing
I'm working on my thing
