Give

Everybody's reachin' for something

Every day a-pullin' and tuggin'

And always wantin' a little more

Holdin' on to hurt like an anchor

Treatin' those we love like strangers

Takin' names and keepin' score

We all know what we're really after

Somewhere along the road, we got it backwards



If you want to give love, then give it

If you want to feel some forgiveness

Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own

If you want a friend, then be one

A little bit of kindness - show some

You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home

It don't matter what it is

If you want it, give



I been down right stubborn

At one time or another

And found it easier to bend

I've had a shoulder to lean on

Been the one who got to be strong

And peace was waiting at both ends

I've felt the power; I've seen what it can do

It seemed so simple, so simple that it's true



If you want to give love, then give it

If you want to feel some forgiveness

Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own

If you want a friend, then be one

A little bit of kindness - show some

You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home

It don't matter what it is

If you want it, give



Ohh, yeah



If you want a friend, then be one

A little bit of kindness - show some

You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home

It don't matter what it is

If you want it, give

Yeahh

Ohh, show a little kindness, baby

Oo, baby

If you want it, give

(If you wanna feel a little kindness)

(If you wanna feel some forgiveness)



If you want a friend, then be one

A little bit of kindness - show some

You'll be surprised of how much finds its way back home

It don't matter what it is

If you want it, give
