Harry Chapin - Calluses lyrics

I could tell you that I get asked a lot of
Times how I can change the
World i've also have
Been asked a lot of times how I can be a
Rock and roll singer and do you see what's
On the end of my fingers?
Calluses and what that means
Is if you're willing to play
The guitar night in, night out
For audiences of three people
When you're coming up and finding that even
Your mother says, "Pbbb, it doesn't sound
Very good" The point is very simple
- if you care enough, you can have an impact
Because in the long run we're not sure about
A prior life or an after life
We're all hoping for that but what we can
Do is maximize what we have in this brief
Flicker of time in the infinity and
And try to milk that
And be hungry in a different kind of way
Hungry for
Experience, hungry for meaning and
You can be terribly
Terribly effective if you want to be
