I see the world around me...i feel the joy and pain

I hear the sound of silence...and laughter in the rain

Now some things may control us...but some things we can do

Wherever there's a heart that's beatin' there's a place for me and you



When we give a little...we give all we have to give...give a little



Now we all got our problems...and some you can't ignore

But if we stand together we stand for somethin' more

With all we have to hope for...and all we have to give

Whenever it's your heart that's beatin' there's a chance for us to live



When we give a little...we give all we have to give...give a little



They say the days are gettin' short...and the nights are gettin' longer

The weak are gettin' weaker...and the strong keep gettin' stronger

On a street with no connections...everyone can use protection

They're stirrin' up the lies, they spin 'em round between me and you

They say there's nothin' you or i can ever really hope to do

But every man in every nation can hear the call of soul salvation



A hundred million faces...a hundred billion tears

No one can come between us to isolate our fears

With all we have to hope for...and all we have to give

Whenever it's your heart that's beatin'...there's a chance for us to live



For every day your heart beats...for every day the sun shines

With every breath our hearts meet...with every step our hopes fly

For every day your heart beats...whichever way your soul flies

With every breath our hearts meet...with every step our thoughts cry
