Give It Away
She asked him for forever
And a promise that would last
He said, "Babe, you know I love you
But I can't commit to that."
She said, "Love isn't love
'Til you give it away."
A father lived in silence
Saw his son become a man
There was a distance felt between them
'Cause he could not understand
That love isn't love
'Til you give it away
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give (learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice
We can entertain compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesn't lead to anywhere
Ooh, 'cause love isn't love
'Til you give it away, yea
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice
Love is like a river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink (we drink)
From the water (from the water)
And our thirst is no longer denied (and our thirst is no longer denied)
Ooo, you gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side (moving side by side)
May we learn to give (may, may we learn, may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice
There was a man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
'Cause His love was His life
And He gave it away
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give (may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice
(Ooh, you gotta give it away)
As we live (as we live)
Moving side by side (moving side, moving side by side)
May we learn to give (may, may we learn, may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice (learn to sacrifice)
And a promise that would last
He said, "Babe, you know I love you
But I can't commit to that."
She said, "Love isn't love
'Til you give it away."
A father lived in silence
Saw his son become a man
There was a distance felt between them
'Cause he could not understand
That love isn't love
'Til you give it away
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give (learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice
We can entertain compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesn't lead to anywhere
Ooh, 'cause love isn't love
'Til you give it away, yea
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice
Love is like a river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink (we drink)
From the water (from the water)
And our thirst is no longer denied (and our thirst is no longer denied)
Ooo, you gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side (moving side by side)
May we learn to give (may, may we learn, may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice

He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
'Cause His love was His life
And He gave it away
You gotta give it away
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give (may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice
(Ooh, you gotta give it away)
As we live (as we live)
Moving side by side (moving side, moving side by side)
May we learn to give (may, may we learn, may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice (learn to sacrifice)
