GIVING

A place where everybody smiles

a story worth repeating

not when the world was young and still

like a bear forever sleeping

GIVING, freely GIVING

desire of the soul

GIVING, freely GIVING

love will always pay the toll

Slowly raising every rug

to see what's dormant underneathe

all it took was an open effort

to see what shade would hide the free

There's a dull shine on the statue

and the sun blinds my eyes

as I look into the distance

I'm always taken by surprise

GIVING, freely GIVING

desire of the soul

GIVING, freely GIVING

love will always pay the toll
