I think about the life I live   A figure made of clay   And think about the things I lost   The things I gave away      And when I'm in a certain mood   I search the house and look   One night I found these magic words   In a magic book      Throw it away   Throw it away   Give your love, live your life   Each and every day      And keep your hand wide open   Let the sun shine through   'Cause you can never lose a thing   If it belongs to you      There's a hand to rock the cradle   And a hand to help us stand   With a gentle kind of motion   As it moves across the land      And the hand's unclenched and open   Gifts of life and love it brings   So keep your hand wide open   If you're needing anything      Throw it away   Throw it away   Give your love, live your life   Each and every day      And keep your hand wide open   Let the sun shine through   'Cause you can never lose a thing   If it belongs to you      Throw it away   Throw it away   Give your love, live your life   Each and every day      And keep your hand wide open   Let the sun shine through   'Cause you can never lose a thing   If it belongs to you      'Cause you can never lose a thing   If it belongs to you   You can never ever lose a thing   If it belongs to you      You can never ever lose a thing   If it belongs to you   You can never ever lose a thing   If it belongs to you
