DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A STAND?
DO YOU WANT TO BE OF SERVICE
TO UPLIFT YOUR FELLOW MAN?

ARE YOU READY FOR THE CHALLENGE?
ARE YOU READY FOR THE RIDE?
WILL YOU ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTIONS
THAT WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR GUIDE?

IS IT THE TRUTH? (IS IT THE TRUTH?)
IS IT FAIR TO ALL IN TURN?
WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND FRIENDSHIP?
IS IT GOOD FOR ALL CONCERNED?

WE ARE ROTARY
COMMITTED, HEART AND SOUL,
TO BUILD COMMUNITY
DEDICATED AND UNITED,
AND BELIEVING WE CAN HELP
BY ALWAYS PUTTING SERVICE ABOVE SELF

CAN YOU REACH OUT TO A STRANGER?
CAN YOU RECOGNIZE HIS NEEDS?
CAN YOU SEEK OUT AND USE ASSETS,
HERE AT HOME AND OVERSEAS?

WILL YOU HELP STAMP OUT DISEASES?
DO YOU WANT TO STOP A WAR?
THEN ASK YOURSELVES THE QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

IS IT THE TRUTH? (IS IT THE TRUTH?)
IS IT FAIR TO ALL IN TURN?
WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND FRIENDSHIP?
IS IT GOOD FOR ALL CONCERNED?

WE ARE ROTARY
COMMITTED, HEART AND SOUL,
TO BUILD COMMUNITY
DEDICATED AND UNITED,
AND BELIEVING WE CAN HELP
BY ALWAYS PUTTING SERVICE ABOVE SELF

WELL, THE WORLD IS WHAT WE MAKE IT
THE FUTURE’S IN OUR HANDS
WE CAN BUILD A BRIGHT TOMORROW
IF WE JUST BELIEVE WE CAN
SO WE ASK OURSELVES THE QUESTION,
WHAT WILL WE LEAVE BEHIND?
THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE
BY ASKING EVERYTIME

IS IT THE TRUTH? (IS IT THE TRUTH?)
IS IT FAIR TO ALL IN TURN?
WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND FRIENDSHIP?
IS IT GOOD FOR ALL CONCERNED?

IS IT THE TRUTH? (IS IT THE TRUTH?)
IS IT FAIR TO ALL IN TURN?
WILL IT BUILD GOODWILL AND FRIENDSHIP?
IS IT GOOD FOR ALL CONCERNED?

IS IT GOOD, GOOD, GOOD (GOOD!) FOR ALL CONCERNED?

THIS CLOSE (Click here for lyrics & chords)

We’ll never give out And we’ll never give in
And we’ll never back down So we’ll never cave in

Nobody thought we’d get this far
Nobody thought we could win
But we never gave up, and we never gave out
And we never caved in
Whoever thought we’d be strong enough
Why would we even try
I remember the pain when my sister got sick
And how it changed all of our lives

Hey look at us now Look at us now Livin our wildest dreams
Look what we’ve done How far we’ve come
Nothing’s as hard as it seems…

When we’re This Close This Close This Close This Close
It’s not good enough to say almost when you’re This Close
This Close (Don’t Give up now) This Close
This Close This Close Hey Now

Thank God for the Gates They opened the way
And now they’re the heart of our team
Hey look at us Polio Plus
We’ve almost brought down this disease

And we’re this close (Don’t Give up Now) This Close (Don’t Give up Now)
This close (Don’t Give up Now) This Close
They live with the pain This Close
They live with the Shame This Close
Just a few drops This Close Just a few drops away Don’t give up now We’re so close to home
