You can’t get a little – until you give a lot
You ache just a little – for the things you aint got
If we give just a little – we might get a lot
And if we love just a little – we can heal the worlds heart
If they gave you everything you wanted
Would that be everything you need?
To get just a little – I had to give a lot
Always stuck in the middle – could never reach the top
Thought it took just a little – but found it took a lot
Life can seem such a riddle – just gotta start the hard parts
If they gave you everything you wanted
Answered every time you called
Would you be getting any stronger?
If they picked you up each time you fall?
I’m done wasting time in the dark corners of my mind
Looking back, I can finally see what meant the most never came easy to me
With hopeful eyes for the future – and a love for what I’ve got
You can’t get a little – until you give a lot
If you give just a little – you might get a lot
If we love just a little – we can heal the worlds heart
