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
