[Verse 1] You want a bigger table? Cut the wood and set it straight Bring a dish, bring a plan, don’t just reach across the plate Every click you borrow, every hour that you spend Leave the place with something better than the shape it’s in [Pre-Chorus] Make the thing you wish was there Put your hands in, show you care [Chorus] Produce more than you consume Build it up, make a little room Take your share, then leave some more That’s the rule worth living for Make it, don’t just take it Make it, don’t just take it [Verse 2] In a shop, in a partnership, in the way you handle cash Grow the value, mind the margin, don’t just make a pile of ash Love is not a vending machine, feed it back with what you do Give your time a useful shape; let the good come round to you [Pre-Chorus] Make the thing you wish was there Put your hands in, show you care [Chorus] Produce more than you consume Build it up, make a little room Take your share, then leave some more That’s the rule worth living for Make it, don’t just take it Make it, don’t just take it [Bridge] A little less grabbing, a little more craft A little more seed than the fruit that you snatch No golden formula, no perfect score Just leave more standing than you found before [Final Chorus] Produce more than you consume Build it up, make a little room Take your share, then leave some more That’s the rule worth living for Make it, don’t just take it Make it, don’t just take it Build, give, grow—then make some more
