Lyrics Take and Take - Ken Hensley

Take and Take

I gave my friend a helping hand
But I find it hard to understand
Why this and more
Never seems to be enough
For as long as I live
I’m prepared to give
Just as much of myself
Or of what I have
For I know what it’s like
When the going’s really rough
But I can see there are decisions
I will have to make
In a world that seems to live on
Take and take and take
And what will happen
Should the river of my soul run dry?
Will I be needed then?
Will someone sing me a lullaby?
My friend gave me a helping hand
And I wondred then
If I could be a man
Strong nough to forgive with a smile
