Verse 1
While talking to a friend of mine at school today,
I realized how much I have in every way.
He didn't have a lunch to eat, and so I thought how nice it'd be
If he'd sit down and share my lunch with me.

Chorus
'Cause if you give love, you will receive love,
And everyone will have enough.
Yes, if you give love, you will receive love,
'Cause that's the sharing loving law of life.

Verse 2
Today my mother asked me if I'd share my favorite jeans,
Give 'em to my younger brother 'cause that's what he really needs.
And as I gave my jeans away, I heard my precious mother say,
"Today I bought a new pair just for you."

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
I took a look at all the things I have today.
It seems the more I give, the more I have each day.
My parents taught me that the key to being really happy is to
Give, and it will be given to me.

Repeat Chorus twice

'Cause that's the sharing loving law of life!
'Cause that's the sharing loving law of life!
