| If you really wanna keep it
|
| You gotta give it away
|
| If you really wanna help somebody
|
| Get on your knees and pray
|
| If you really wanna show the world
|
| Some peace and faith
|
| If you really wanna keep it
|
| You gotta give it away, away
|
| You might meet some people living out on the streets
|
| You might meet somebody with no shoes on his feet
|
| You might even see a drunk man lying lost in misery
|
| That’s when it’s time to reach your hand out, boy, show some sympathy
|
| If you really wanna keep it
|
| You gotta give it away
|
| If you really wanna help somebody
|
| Get on your knees and pray
|
| If you really wanna show the world
|
| Some peace and faith
|
| If you really wanna keep it
|
| You gotta give it away, away
|
| Sometimes I get so discouraged when there’s nothing I can do
|
| Trying to help somebody that I love with the trouble she’s going through
|
| I wanna be that sweet salvation, I wanna carry the news
|
| About peace and hope, faith and love, with everything I do
|
| If you really wanna keep it
|
| You gotta give it away, away |
