Receive

I wake up and first things first: I'm of service
I make sure your needs are met as a selfless
I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break
I give big, I give all and now it's time to regenerate
Today's all about me, about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive
I move on through offerings often one-sided
Being this low on list of worth: Over-extended
I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief
I look out, I proffer and now I need some respite indeed
Today's all about me, all about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive
My habit to love you first and me: Remainders
Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger
I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat
I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me
Today's all about me, all about cup filling
Today's all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive
