The world's full of takers
Always wanting more
But a life of just receiving
Leaves your heart feeling poor
There's a better way to live
A truer path to choose
When you open up your heart and give
That's when you'll truly win
So be the one who gives
Not just the one who takes
Make a difference
Make a difference, leave your mark
It's never too late
When you pour out your heart
The rewards will come back
The joy of giving far exceeds
The things that you lack
Reach out a helping hand
Lift someone else up
A simple act of kindness
They'll fill your soul with love
For the more that you give
The richer you will be
In the connections you make
The lives that you set free
It's not about the money
Nor the things you own
True wealth is in the moments
It's not about the money
It's about the love
When you're not alone
When you make someone's burden
A little bit lighter
That's when your own heart grows
Stronger and brighter
So be the one who gives
Not just the one who takes
Make a difference, leave your mark
It's never too late
When you pour out your heart
The rewards will come back
The joy of giving far exceeds
The things that you lack
Remember you have so much to share
Don't hold it in
Open up your heart
And let the giving begin
For the more that you give
The more you receive
It's not easy to let go
Smiles and the lanterns, ones that won't leave.
