[Verse 1] You give your good hours away Before you know who needs them most I watch your hands divide the day While every current pulls you close [Pre-Chorus] I can choose what leaves my mouth I can’t choose what comes back through [Chorus] I give it freely, give it true But I can’t steer what reaches you Two strong currents, one small heart I hold my part; I let yours start [Verse 2] You turn toward each urgent voice Then lose the thread you meant to keep There’s still a difference in the choice And what the world decides to reap [Bridge] Let the answer take its time Some things bend; some cross the line [Final Chorus] I give it freely, give it true But I can’t steer what reaches you Two strong currents, one small heart I hold my part; I let yours start [Outro] I hold my part I let yours start
