She asked him for forever   And a promise that would last   He said, "Babe you know I love you   But I can't commit to that"   She said, "Love isn't love   'Till you give it away"      A father lived in silence   Saw his son become a man   There was a distance felt between them   'Cause he could not understand   That love isn't love   'Till you give it away   You gotta give it away      CHORUS:   As we live   Moving side by side   May we learn to give   Learn to sacrifice      We can entertain compassion   For a world in need of care   But the road of good intentions   Doesn't lead to anywhere   'Cause love isn't love   'Till you give it away   You gotta give it away      CHORUS      Love is like a river   Flowing down from the giver of life   We drink from the water   And our thirst is no longer denied   You gotta give it away      CHORUS      There was a man who walked on water   He came to set the people free   He was the ultimate example   Of what love can truly be   'Cause his love was his life   And he gave it away   You gotta give it away      REPEAT CHORUS
