  Give It Away by Michael W. Smith

  She asked him for forever

  And a promise that would last

  He said, babe, you know I love you

  But I can’t commit to that

  She said love isn’t love

  ’til you give it away

  A father lived in silence

  Saw his son become a man

  There was a distance felt between them

  ’cause he could not understand

  That love isn’t love

  ’til you give it away

  You gotta give it away

  Chorus:

  As we live

  Moving side by side

  May we learn to give

  Learn to sacrifice

  We can entertain compassion

  For a world in need of care

  But the road of good intentions

  Doesn’t lead to anywhere

  ’cause love isn’t love

  ’til you give it away

  You gotta give it away

  (Chorus)

  Love is like a river

  Flowing down from the giver of life

  We drink from the water

  And our thirst is no longer denied

  You gotta give it away

  There was a man who walked on water

  He came to set the people free

  He was the ultimate example

  Of what love can truly be

  ’cause his love was his life

  And he gave it away

  You gotta give it away

  (Chorus)
