You Give it All Away - Dar Williams

I see what you see

And I hope the world is watching

Or they’re gonna love

The way you say the things you do

They don’t know what’s in store

They’ve never seen the likes of this before

And oh, you’re gonna give it all away

I know how it feels when the day will give you nothing

But then you see the golden spark that’s floating on the wind

The line becomes the verse, becomes the golden trees, the golden birds

And oh, you’re gonna give it all away

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

You give it all away

Yeah, you give it all away

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

You give it all away

Yeah, you give it all away

Hey there, lucky kid

I see that thing you did

You pulled without a doubt

When everyone was waiting

That yesterday

You turned around and now they say

Oh, what have you done lately?

Oh, you give it all away

You’re not alone

When you say it’s going fast now

The silver hope kaleidoscope

Is spinning us away

But find the means and find the ends

Find a reason, just pretend

Find a way to send the light you send

Just like salvation might depend

Upon the things you do

My lovely friend, I know

You’re gonna give it all away

Oh well, you’re gonna give it all away

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

You give it all away

Yeah, you give it all away

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa

You give it all away

Yeah, you give it all away
