Everybody's reaching for something
Everyday pulling and tugging
Always wanting a little more
Holding on to hurt like an anchor
Treatin those you love like strangers
Taking names and keeping score
We all know, what we're really after
Somewhere along the road
We got it backwards
If you wanna give love then give it
If you wanna feel some forgiveness
You gotta let go and do some forgiving of your
own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness shows up
You'll be surprised in how much finds its way
back home
It don't matter what it is
But if you want it, give
I've been down that stubborn
One time or another
Found it's easier to bend
I've had a shoulder to lean on
Been the one who got to be strong
And peace waiting at both ends
I felt that power, I've seen what it can do, yeah
If you wanna give love then give it
If you wanna feel some forgiveness
You gotta let go and do some forgiving of your
own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness shows up
You'll be surprised in how much finds its way
back home
It don't matter what it is
If you want it, give your love away
Give yourself away
If you wanna give love then give it
If you wanna feel some forgiveness
You gotta let go and do some forgiving on your
own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness shows up
You'll be surprised in how much finds its way
back home
It don't matter what it is
But if you want it, give... your love away
Give yourself away .
