Take And Take Lyrics

Ken Hensley Take And Take

I gave my friend a helping hand But I find it hard to understand Why this and more Never seems to be enough For as long as I live I'm prepared to give Just as much of myself Or of what I have For I know what it's like When the going's really rough

But I can see there are decisions I will have to make In a world that seems to live on Take and take and take

And what will happen Should the river of my soul run dry ? Will I be needed then? Will someone sing me a lullaby ?

My friend gave me a helping hand And I wondered then If I could be a man Strong enough to Forgive with a smile Now as I've travelled far-off lands I see it clearer

And it makes me glad I guess I'm happy 'cause I'll go on giving for a while And I hope it's for all my life
