[Lyric] Watch What Happens (Matt Sweeney & Bonnie "Prince" Billy)

[Verse 1]
Other folks will make mistakes and leave you with the mess
Other folks have ways of walking past but you know best
They're lost to begin with, like far too many souls
If you know what's right, breathe and act upon your heart's own goals

[Chorus]
Watch what happens when you act
Watch what happens when you do
Whatever, big and small, you can
To make her strong and make her true

[Verse 2]
Other folks may not have time to fix things for our kids
You can blow apart their minds and show them how we live
Just 'cause time is racing forth don't mean you have to run
Put one foot square and solid down on earth, for all's not done

[Chorus]
Watch what happens when you act
Watch what happens when you do
Whatever, big and small, you can
To make her strong and make her true
Watch what happens when you rise
Oh, and woo your counterpart
Oh, vocalize what slept too long
And flex your throat and your heart
