Make It Work Lyrics by Ryan Laird

2020

Can we talk
I got a little thought
About what’s cool
And what is hot
Mister have you got a minute
I could shut up and walk away
Or stand up and turn a page
Sister have you got a minute

I don’t need a megaphone or a protest sign
But you’re welcome to a piece of my mind

Make it work
Make it work
Take this little place called earth
Just a tiny blue dot
It’s all we’ve got
Make it work
Make it work
Beneath the pocket of your shirt
With every single beat
You take it to the street
And make it work

From DC to BC
NY to the river Kwai
Evеrybody’s in it
Oh east to west
Dirt to sky
Therе’s no us or them or you or I
Everybody’s in it

You can try to turn your back
 but where you gonna go?
This is one test we can’t afford to blow

Make it work
Make it work
Take this little place called earth
Just a tiny blue dot
It’s all we’ve got
Make it work
Make it work
Beneath the pocket of your shirt
With every single beat
Gotta take it to the street
And make it work

If you’ve got a better plan
Or a better place to be
I wanna hear it I’m all ears
Come on lay it on me
Oh lay it on me

So make it work
Make it work
Take this little place called earth
Just a tiny blue dot
It’s all we’ve got
Make it work
Make it work
Beneath the pocket of your shirt
With every single beat
Gotta take it to the street
And make it work

Yeah make it work yeah
Come on make it work
Oh come on now make it work
