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 .
