[Verse 1] You drew a line around the rain And said the clouds belonged to you You named each drop, you kept the key As if the sky could sign for two I have a handful left to give A steady warmth I won’t hold back You can’t put a lock on kindness Or keep the sunlight in a sack [Pre-Chorus] Take what you need I won’t count what’s gone There’s more in me When the morning comes [Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love isn’t yours to own I give it away, give it away A seed is meant to be sown If the world closes both its hands I’ll still leave mine open wide I have so much love to give Let it travel where it likes [Verse 2] You stamped your name across the bread And priced the chair beside the door But someone came in out of cold So I made room for one more No ledger keeps the best of us No fence can tell a heart to stay The more I pass the warmth along The more I find along the way [Pre-Chorus] Take what you need I won’t count what’s gone There’s more in me When the morning comes [Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love isn’t yours to own I give it away, give it away A seed is meant to be sown If the world closes both its hands I’ll still leave mine open wide I have so much love to give Let it travel where it likes [Bridge] You can guard a gate all winter You can chain the garden wall Still, one green shoot will find a crack And make a way through it all I won’t make a claim on people I won’t ask the sky to stay Love is not a thing to capture It’s a thing we give away [Final Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love isn’t yours to own I give it away, give it away A seed is meant to be sown If the world closes both its hands I’ll still leave mine open wide I have so much love to give Let it travel where it likes I have so much love to give Let it travel where it likes
