To Give Songtext

von Shirley Bassey

To give
Is the reason I live
To give all I can give
In return for the life that I earn
I was born
As a part of the plan
With the heart of a woman
With a will to survive.

I believe
Everything on this earth
Having meaning and worth
Made of concrete and air
Is to share
And to feel
Justified I exist
To be scribed on the list
Of someone
With a place in the sun.

Here I stand
Reaching up for the sky
Till the day that I die
I must give all that I can.

When I go
I'll go out empty handed
Lending dust to the land and
Just the soul I have found
Leaves the ground,

And to give
Is the reason I live.
