Lyrics

Give
by Katherine Nemeth and Ari Mendes ©2008

I knew a man, I knew his story
His life been hard and full of pain
But every time I saw him
He was smilin’ so I asked him to explain

He said give ‘till you can’t give any more
Love ‘till your heart is sore
Work, pay your own way
And don’t forget to pray

People will tell you, Do what feels good
They’ll say, take what you can
They’ll tell you in order to make it
You got to step on your fellow man

But I say, give ‘till you can’t give any more
Love ‘till your heart is sore
Work, pay your own way
And don’t forget to pray

When life gets harder and harder it seems
And you're left with broken dreams
All you got is the love you paid along the way
And to be able, to lay down at the end of the day and know

You gave till you couldn’t give any more
And you loved till your heart was sore
And you worked, paid your own way
And you didn’t, didn’t forget to pray

I say, give ‘till you can’t give any more
Love ‘till your heart is sore
Work, pay your own way
And don’t forget to pray

I say give
