[Verse 1] I give what I can, then I give past the mark Your hurt finds a place in the back of my heart Three voices are tugging; I answer them all Then wonder which promise was mine to recall [Pre-Chorus] I can hold out my hands I can't steer every tide I keep reaching for both Till my own pulse divides [Chorus] I give it freely, I give it true But I can't make the whole world turn for you Some things answer; some slip away I choose what I offer, not what will stay [Verse 2] Your good news arrives while my own plans come loose I cheer for your landing, still grieve what I lose I can't set the weather, or bargain with time But I can be honest about what is mine [Pre-Chorus] I can hold out my hands I can't steer every tide I keep reaching for both Till my own pulse divides [Chorus] I give it freely, I give it true But I can't make the whole world turn for you Some things answer; some slip away I choose what I offer, not what will stay [Outro] What I can give, I give without claim What I can't command, I release from my name
