Everybody's reachin' for something Every day pullin' and tugging And always wantin' a little more Holdin' on to her like an anchor Treatin' those we love like strangers Takin' names and keeping score We all know, what we're really after Somewhere along the road, we got it backwards If you want to get love then give it If you want to feel some forgiveness Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own If you want a friend then be one A little bit of kindness, show some You'll be surprised at how much finds it's way back home It don't matter what it is If you want it, give. I been down right stubborn, At one time or another, And found it easier to bend. I've had a shoulder to lean on Been the one who got to be strong And peace was waiting at both ends I've felt the power, I've seen what it can do It's seemed so simple, so simple that it's true If you want to get love then give it If you want to feel some forgiveness Then you've gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own If you want a friend then be one A little bit of kindness, show some You'll be surprised at how much finds it's way back home It don't matter what it is If you want it, give. If you want a friend then be one A little bit of kindness show some You'll be surprised of how much finds it's way back home It don't matter what it is If you want it, give.
