[Verse 1] You can put a price on a doorway You can lock up a name in a room You can draw a line round a garden Say the whole thing belongs to you But I’ve got more than my two hands can hold More than a fence can keep So I set it down where the tired ones gather And let it travel free [Pre-Chorus] Take what you need There’s more where it came from No claim, no key No one owns the sun [Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love is not a thing to keep I give it away, give it away Plant it where the ground runs deep If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No” There’s enough for everyone to know I give it away, give it away Love grows when it’s let go [Verse 2] At the corner, someone shares an orange Two halves on a paper sack A stranger holds the door for a mother With both hands full, coming back I’ve seen a small kindness cross a whole town Like bread passed down a row You don’t lose a thing by opening your fingers You make a place for more to grow [Pre-Chorus] Take what you need There’s more where it came from No claim, no key No one owns the sun [Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love is not a thing to keep I give it away, give it away Plant it where the ground runs deep If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No” There’s enough for everyone to know I give it away, give it away Love grows when it’s let go [Bridge] You can’t lock the rain in a jar You can’t make the spring stand still A hand that opens leaves room for another A heart can choose, and will [Final Chorus] I give it away, give it away Love is not a thing to keep I give it away, give it away Plant it where the ground runs deep If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No” There’s enough for everyone to know I give it away, give it away Love grows when it’s let go I give it away, give it away Let it find whoever needs it most
