Lyrics

TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
LEAVE A LITTLE FOR THE REST
BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBOR
AND YOU’LL BE BLESSED
PAY IT FORWARD, PAY IT IN FULL
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
DO THE GOLDEN RULE
THINK I’LL JUST GO OUTSIDE
LISTEN TO MY HEART AND NOT MY PHONE
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO KNOW I’M NOT ALONE

MAKE A LIVING
ALL THAT IT TAKES
JUST ENOUGH MONEY
TAKES ALL I MAKE
LET’S CHOOSE TO LOVE
THE BEST THINGS ARE FREE
BE SURE TO SMILE, THAT’S WHAT THE PEOPLE SEE
AND WHEN YOU GO OUTSIDE
JUST PUT ASIDE THAT PHONE
TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND
YOU’LL FIND YOU’RE NOT ALONE

FEAR AND HUNGER
IT’S STILL ALL AROUND
HOPE AND WONDER
IS IN THE LOST AND FOUND
LIFT ME UP
BUT NOT TOO HIGH
KEEP ME GROUNDED
SO I CAN’T FLY
WITH ONE CHILD AT A TIME
LEARN TO WALK ON THEIR OWN
SOON THEY WILL SEE THEY ARE NOT ALONE

SO TAKE WHAT YOU NEED
LEAVE A LITTLE FOR THE REST
BE KIND TO YOUR NEIGHBOR
AND YOU’LL BE BLESSED
LET’S CHOOSE TO LOVE
BEST THINGS ARE FREE
BE SURE TO SMILE
THAT’S WHAT THE PEOPLE SEE
THINK IT’S TIME TO GO OUTSIDE
LEAVE BEHIND MY IPHONE
LOVE EACH OTHER ‘CAUSE YOU’RE NOT ALONE
