Gaither Vocal Band - Give It Away lyrics

[Chorus] If you want more happy than your heart will hold If you want to stand taller if the truth were told Take whatever you have, and give it away If you want less lonely and a lot more fun And deep satisfaction when the day is done Then throw your heart wide open and give it away He was workin' in his garden when I happened by He waved me over with that look in his eye And he started breakin' off some ears of corn Here boy, today this corn is just right Just boil it up for your supper tonight I've learned it's true what my pappy used to say Nothing's quite as good 'til you give it away [Chorus] There's been a lotta water go over the dam Since the day in the garden with my Uncle Sam So I hope you'll hear these words I have to say There are two kinds of folks-takers and givers There's gripers and complainers and big hearted livers It depends on how we choose to spend our days We can hoard up all we've got, or give it all away [Chorus: x3]
