Generosity
I hold on tight don’t want to let it go
‘Cuz if I do I might begin to let it show
All of my fear has come to stay
There’s got to be another way
If I look up and I begin to fly
Would anyone know the reason why
All of my fear has gone away
By giving I get another day
I try so hard but I can’t believe
That you and I are just meant to be
In different times and realities
When we’re both here right now, you see
I want to know what’s in your mind
What you love and what you find
Each day you travel through this shrine
But we don’t seem to find the time
I don’t see you and you don’t see me
When we’re trapped inside
You could be me and I could be you
It’s just a matter of time
I hold on tight don’t want to let it go
‘Cuz if I do I might begin to let it show
All of my fear has come to stay
There’s got to be another way
If I look up and I begin to fly
Would anyone know the reason why
All of my fear has gone away
By giving I get another day
What will it take for us to change
To share our joy and share our pain
To take the time right now feels strange
We can’t keep on doing the same
Everything I have is a gift
I wouldn’t have it if it wasn’t given to me
Everything I see is a lift
I wouldn’t be this high if God wasn’t with me
Every day I live is a chance
And I wouldn’t get it if I didn’t listen to the truth that is all around
Blocking out the lies
And I hate the sound of fear in disguise
Here’s what I found
See, you and I are pretty much the same being
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
But if you look around you can see it’s the same thing
The world will make you lonely if you let it
It took some time for me to get it
You can’t just set it and forget it
‘Cuz we need each other
Bet it
I don’t see you and you don’t see me
When we’re trapped inside
You could be me and I could be you
It’s just a matter of time
I hold on tight don’t want to let it go
‘Cuz if I do I might begin to let it show
All of my fear has come to stay
There’s got to be another way
If I look up and I begin to fly
Would anyone know the reason why
All of my fear has gone away
By giving I get another day
By giving I get another day
By giving I get another day
By giving I get another day
By giving I get another day
