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 Till 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 Till you give it away You gotta give it away As we live Moving side by side May we learn to give (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 Till you give it away, yeah You gotta give it away
