When you're caught in the wave
Of a terrible tide
Suddenly you're struggling
To stay astrideSo you calm your hands
And you cool your mind
And you wake up happy
On the other sideYou got what it takes
You got what it takes
To save the worldWhen there is a trouble
You can not command
Maybe it's God trying
To guide your handTo shine a little light
Upon where you stand
So that you can genuinely
UnderstandThat you got what it takes
You got what it takes
To save the worldMiracles happen
They happen every day
We don't know why
I guess we're just lucky that wayA homeless man
With no place to sleep
Woke up to find
Warm boots on his feetAnd a warm cup of coffee
With sugar and cream
Courtesy of the ole' NYPDYou got what it takes
You got what it takes
To save the world
