I'm a Givin' Way

I'm a window, I'm a crutch and I'm a livin' wage I'm a coat and I'm a glove and I'm a turnin' page I'm a seawall risin' up just to keep your houses dry But I'm a givin' way, oh, I'm a givin' way I'm the lowered eye that allows all arrogance to thrive I'm the point of light that excuses all indifference I'm the cold wind blowin' hard And the shelter warm as well But I'm a givin' way, oh, I'm a givin' way But I'm a givin' way, oh, I'm a givin' way I'm the only shade in a thousand miles of sun I'm the one left standin' up when the battle is won I'm the cry that reached your ears Just before the deed was done But I'm a givin' way, oh, I'm a givin' way But I'm a givin' way, oh, I'm a givin' way I'm a givin' way
