Give It Away - Gaither Vocal Band

If you want more happy

than your heart will hold,

If you want to stand taller,

if the truth were told,

take whatever you have

and give it away.

If you want less lonely

and lot more fun

and deep satisfaction

when the day is done,

throw your heart wide open

and give it away

Now, he was working

in his garden

when i happened by.

He weved me over

with that look in his eye

and started breaking off

some ears of corn.

He said, «Here, boy, today

this corn is just right.

«Boil it up

for yor supper tonight

«'cause I’ve learned it’s true

what my pappy used to say.

Nothing’s quite as good

until you give it away.»

Chorus:

If you want more happy

than your heart will hold,

If you want to stand taller,

if the truth were told,

take whatever you have

and give it away.

There’s been a lot of water

gone over the dam

since that day in the garden

with my Uncle Sam.

so I hope You’ll hear

these words I have to say.

There are two kind of folks,

There’s takers and givers.

There’s gripers and complainers

and bighearted livers.

It depends on how we choose

to spend our days.

We can hoard up

all we´ve got

or give it all away

If you want more happy

than your heart will hold,

If you want to stand taller,

if the truth were told,

take whatever you have

and give it away.

If you want less lonely

and lot more fun

and deep satisfaction

when the day is done,

throw your heart widw open

and give it away

If you want more happy

than your heart will hold,

If you want to stand taller,

if the truth were told,

take whatever you have

and give it away.

If you want less lonely

and lot more fun

and deep satisfaction

when the day is done,

throw your heart widw open

and give it away
