For My Own

Oooh Hooo, Ooooh Hooo Save some for my own Oooh Hooo, Ooooh Hooo Save some for my own Gather round, let me tell you a story When I was a young man on my own I knew the world was there for the taking Thought I could do it on my own Born to run, far too long Don't you wait until the shine is gone We are born just to give For as long as you live Oh, you gotta save some for your own If you don't save some for yourself You can't love nobody else Hmm, you gotta save some for your own For my own For my own Life's a marathon, it ain't a sprint running Stop and breathe, we're only flesh and bone Give yourself to the ones who really need it Help them to make it on their own Born to run, far too long Don't you wait until the shine is gone Born to run, far too long Don't you wait until the shine is gone We are born just to give For as long as you live Oh, you gotta save some for your own If you don't save some for yourself You can't love nobody else Hmm, you gotta save some for your own I ain't coming here to be your preacher I ain't saying it's the only way Hard living makes people believers Pay attention to what I say Everybody needs a piece of freedom Society is like a guilty cage Karma has a boomerang for people and what you do will come around one day We are born just to give For as long as you live Oh, you gotta save some for your own If you don't save some for yourself You can't love nobody else Hmm, you gotta save some for your own For my own For my own For my own For my own no, no, no, no Ooooh, Hooo Oooh, Hoooo Save some for my own
