In The Spirit Of Giving

Lyrics

In the spirit of giving, I walked out the door.
Far from my flat, to a forested floor.
And I gave pause a little, and then I gave more.
In the spirit of giving, I walked out the door.

In the spirit of asking, I talked to my heart.
And I listened a while 'til it said from afar
That the things that it wanted, it had from the start.
In the spirit of asking, I talked to my heart.

In the spirit of taking, I looked off the ground,
And I took in the sky 'til some heaven came down.
And I felt that this season should happen year round.
In the spirit of taking, I looked off the ground.

In the spirit of loving, I strolled down the street,
And I saw all the strangers exactly like me.
And I spoke to them sweetly in words we don’t speak.
In the spirit of loving, I strolled down the street.

In the spirit of living, I lightened my soul.
Cast off the hurt that I don’t need to hold.
Until all that I carry is yet to unfold.
In the spirit of living, I lightened my soul.

In the spirit of giving, I headed back home
And I lit up a fire, I let it burn low.
And I laid down to sleep with the fears that I’ve known,
But in the spirit of giving, I let them all go.
