To Give (feat. Matisyahu)

From the moment we're born First thought is to take, we feed our face We eat, we breathe, we sleep, we dream And when we don't get we need Well then we cry, we kick, we scream We'll try every and anything To bring the attention where it belongs back to me From the moment we wake, Each day, we crave the easy way We booze caffeine or nicotine Anything to fill the need Like money does, bright lights, big bling We'll try everything and anything As long as it's for me What if we flipped a switch? And be unselfish What if you called a friend just to see how he is? We all could use a lift Without Pretenses What if your first thought was not to take but just to give... to give Until the moment were gone Were stuck in between what we need and want We eat, we pray, we love, we speak Sometimes we don't feel a thing Then other times, we hurt, we bleed Anything and everything It's all about me What if we flipped a switch? And be unselfish What if you called a friend just to see how he is? We all could use a lift Without Pretenses What if your first thought was not to take but just to give... to give And how the simplest of thoughts Could be so hard This isn't who we really are What's mine is yours and what's yours is yours Open up the door let the love come through Each and every day you know that its true Got to give to the lord that's all you can do There's no time for envy jealousy or greed Love blindly cause that's all that we need Send out your hand help a fellow man stand And when your done go and give to the land What if we flipped the script? To be unselfish What if you called a friend just to see how he is? We all could use a lift Without pretenses What if your first thought was not to take but just to give ... to give
