Lyrics
To give is the reason I live To give all I can give In return for the life that I earn
I was born as a part of the plan With the heart of a man With a will to survive
And I believe Everything on this earth Having meaning and worth
Made of concrete and air Is to share and to feel Justify, I exist
To describe on the list Of someone With a place in the sun
Here I stand Reaching out for the sky Till the day that I die
I must give all I can When I go I'll go out empty hand
Leaving dust to the land Just the soul I have found Leaves the ground
