The Giver

W.W.Garcia 1964 (California)



You can take anything you want
You can take anything you need
You can take everything
You can Break everything
Just take these chains off of me
Set me free
Just Don't mistake                                   gratitude for greed
And Don't mistake                                                a stone for a seed
Cause it makes it hard to believe
And my love is harder to see
'Cause your the giver (ah ha)                               you give everything for free                             And I'm a believer (ah ha                                       'cause your giving all your love to me
When you deliver                                                theres no place I'd rather be
Your the giver giving love
You can be
Anything you want
You can't be
Anything you aren't
You be anything
You can see everything
Your never gonna be who your not
'Cause your the giver, (ah hah)
An' you give everything for free
An' you deliver all your love to me
'Cause your the giver
An you give everything you need
When you give your love for free
Just Don't mistake                                   gratitude for greed
And Don't mistake a stone for a seed
Cause it makes you hard to believe
And my love is harder to see
