The Secret of Giving

In this life, we all go through hard times

When we struggle and pray for a lifeline

Just needing someone

To show us the way



To you, the glass might seem half empty

But it's half full to those without any

So hold onto hope

And try to have faith

Oh, you've got to have faith



[chorus]

If there's just one secret to living

Whoever you are (whoever you are)

It's learning the meaning of giving

With an open heart

With an open heart



If you offer the best part of yourself

Even when you don't have anything else

Honest and true

It'll come back to you

Love comes back to you



[chorus]



With your arms wide open

The world opens wide

And you'll believe it deep inside



That there's just one secret to living

Whoever you are (whoever you are)

It's finding the true joy in giving

With an open heart

Oh, with an open heart
