Lyrics
To Give (The Reason I Live)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To give is the reason I live
To give all I can give
In return for the life that I earn
I was born as a part of a plan
With the heart of a man
With the will to survive
I believe everything on this earth
Having meaning and worth
Made of concrete and air
Is to share and to feel
Justify, I exist
To describe on the list
Of someone
With a place in the sun
Here I stand
Reaching out for the sky
Till the day I die
I must give all I can
When I go
I will go out empty hand
I'll become dust for the land
Just the soul I have found
Leaves the ground
