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
