lyrics
If giving and receiving are one
Then withholding and losing must be too
And though it's counterintuitive, I believe that it's true
And I'll give everything that I have to you
Do you remember that miserable old miserly man
With his furrowed brow and his icy clenched hands?
Well even bitter old Scrooge came around and redemption he found
In the end
And as that fable attests, there's still hope for the rest of us
So God bless us, everyone
And from the very first whimper I made
Just a frightened and lost newborn babe
The greatest gift was bestowed to me, a love spread all over me
And I was saved
Now the least I can do is to carry it on through with me
And to spread it 'round for the rest of my days
Could it really be so simple as counting to two?
Could it be that it's what we were put here to do?
Could we get what so often we've misunderstood?
I'd like to believe that maybe we could
If giving and receiving are one
Then withholding and losing must be too
And though it's counterintuitive, I believe that it's true
And I'll give everything that I have to you
