"Give It Away" lyrics

Give It Away

Well, I woke up this morning
I had something on my face
It was still there when I brushed my teeth
Still there when I shaved

I showed it to my neighbor
And he broke into a grin
I gave it away
I gave it away

Smiles don't cost money
Give it away
Give it away
Maybe all you have
Is just a kind word you can say
Give it away
Give it away

I woke up this morning
With a song in my heart
I hummed it all through coffee
And it gave my day a start
I took my song to work with me
And I sang it for my friend
I gave it away
I gave it away

Yes, Jesus loves me
Give it away
Give it away
Maybe all you have
Is just a kind word you can say
Give it away
Give it away

Don't think people do not care
I know they care a lot
Don't be bashful of somebody
Give it all you've got
Understanding means more
Than you ever thought it could
So give it away
Give it away

Love someone sometime
Give it away
Give it away
Maybe all you have
Is just a kind word you can say
Give it away
Give it away

Give it away
Give it away
