On Their Own
lyrics and melody by Cat Faber 2012
mp3 and pdf sheet music
Em G
The roofer sets his hammer down
G D Em
And does his level best
Em G
To catch the falling raptor chick
G D Bm
And tuck it in its nest.
Bm D Am Em
They do the good beneath their hands
Em D
Although they never see
Em G D
The power their good will commands
Em D Em
If they can, why not me?
The weaver hears a tiny cry
And lays aside her comb
To help the stranded kitten down
Or lead the puppy home.
They do their deeds and go their way,
Not knowing what they've sown;
They do not have a Destiny;
They do it on their own.
(last chorus ends with)
Em D C D
If they can, why not me?
G C D Em
If they can, why not me?
