What You Give Away

Verse 1 Universal law whispered low in the room, Don’t hold too tight, it’ll bury you soon. Everything shines, then it slips through your hands, Like rain on the window, like dust in the sand. I used to bring meals to the old and alone, Plastic trays warm like a blessing from home. There was beauty in giving, no crown, no applause, Just a heart being opened by something above. Pre-Chorus Thank the higher power for the things he gives, Thank him for the things he takes. Sometimes what breaks in the palm of your hand Is the thing that finally saves. Verse 2 Give more, expect less, let mercy be loud, Help who you can when they’re lost in the crowd. There’s heaven in hands that don’t ask to be seen, Just serving the hungry, just keeping hearts clean. All of these things we collect just to cope, Boxes of sorrow dressed up like hope. The clutter keeps talking, the silence knows truth, You don’t need more stuff, you need more of you. Pre-Chorus Thank the higher power for the doors he shuts, Thank him for the ones that bloom. Sometimes empty is holy ground Making space inside the room. Chorus Hey bag lady, let some of it go, Your house is full but your spirit feels cold. You’re carrying grief like a glamorous show, But the weight of the world ain’t gold. What are you willing to sacrifice? Negativity, judgment, money, and pride. What you give away is yours to keep, What you hide is already lost underneath. Bridge Let the old coat fall from your shoulders, Let the bitter words turn sweet. Let the coins you feared to loosen Become bread for someone to eat. Let the judgment burn to ashes, Let the ego lose its name. If love is the law of the universe, Then giving is the flame. Final Chorus Hey bag lady, let some of it go, You were never meant to carry it all. Your hands can open, your heart can know There is grace in the fall. What are you willing to sacrifice? Negativity, judgment, money, and pride. What you give away is yours to keep, What you hide is already lost underneath. Outro What you give away is yours… What you hide is lost… Let it go, let it go, Love will pay the cost.
