Give It Away - Doug Seegers

If you really wanna keep it

You gotta give it away

If you really wanna help somebody

Get on your knees and pray

If you really wanna show the world

Some peace and faith

If you really wanna keep it

You gotta give it away, away

You might meet some people living out on the streets

You might meet somebody with no shoes on his feet

You might even see a drunk man lying lost in misery

That’s when it’s time to reach your hand out, boy, show some sympathy

If you really wanna keep it

You gotta give it away

If you really wanna help somebody

Get on your knees and pray

If you really wanna show the world

Some peace and faith

If you really wanna keep it

You gotta give it away, away

Sometimes I get so discouraged when there’s nothing I can do

Trying to help somebody that I love with the trouble she’s going through

I wanna be that sweet salvation, I wanna carry the news

About peace and hope, faith and love, with everything I do

If you really wanna keep it

You gotta give it away, away
