[Verse 1]
For all of the books we've come to read
It's kind of amusing
We don't have very much that's very smart to say

[Verse 2]
And theories we tell ourselves we need
I think we could lose them
It's funny how those theories end up in our way

[Chorus]
Take a little look at the race we've run
Take a little look at how far we've come
Takes a little faith, but it's my belief
With a little luck we'll be fine
Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends
Never take for granted our truest friends
Takes a little work, but I really think
With a little luck we'll be fine

[Verse 3]
For all of our educated games
The root of the problem
Is finding common sense in very short supply

[Verse 4]
And letters that supersede our names
I think we should drop them
Those letters only come between 'U' and 'I'
[Chorus]
Take a little look at the race we've run
(Take a little look at the race we've run)
Take a little look at how far we've come
(Take a little look how far we've come)
Takes a little faith, but it's my belief
(Takes a little faith, but it's my belief)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)
Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends
(Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends)
Never take for granted our truest friends
(Never take for granted all our friends)
Takes a little work, but I really think
(Takes a little work, but I really think)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)

[Bridge]
And if it tumbles down
If it tumbles down around our feet
All around our feet
We will stand our ground
We will stand our ground
And freeze off the heat
[Chorus]
Take a little look at the race we've run
(Take a little look at the race we've run)
Take a little look at how far we've come
(Take a little look how far we've come)
Takes a little faith, but it's my belief
(Takes a little faith, but it's my belief)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)
Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends
(Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends)
Never take for granted our truest friends
(Never take for granted all our friends)
Takes a little work, but I really think
(Takes a little work, but I really think)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)

[Chorus]
Take a little look at the race we've run
Take a little long hard look at all we've done
Takes some faith, but I believe
With a little luck we'll be fine
Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends
(Never let us sleep 'til we've made amends)
Never take for granted our truest friends
(Never take for granted all our friends)
Takes a little work, but I truly do think
(Takes a little work, but I really think)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)
With a little luck we'll be fine
(With a little luck we'll be fine)
With a little luck
We'll be fine
