Give Lyrics

You didn’t use concrete, sand or steel

You didn’t swing a hammer on a nail

But you made a living building bridges all those years

With a ton of smiles and sometimes a few tears.

You made the greatest impact without words

You didn’t need the power of your voice to be heard

Love spoke the loudest about how you chose to live

And when you didn’t have to give, you still did.

With every seed of love you sowed

And every sacrifice you made

Every time you out-loved every pain

From every hug ‘round every neck

To every storybook you read

And every hungry stomach that you fed

When you didn’t have to give, you did

I remember how your letters made me feel

What you wrote was water putting out flames from hell

You strengthened my heart with every word I read

And when you didn't have to give, you still did

With every seed of love you sowed

And every sacrifice you made

Every time you out-loved every pain

From every hug round every neck

To every storybook you read

And every hungry stomach that you fed

When you didn't have to give, you did, you still did

(Instrumental)

With every seed of love you sowed

And every sacrifice you made

And every hungry stomach that you fed

When you didn't have to give

When there was nothing left to give, you still did

With every sacrifice you made

You chose to give your love away

You showed love in how you lived

And found a way to always give
