英语歌曲:What You Give Away

Vince Gill (Guest Vocalist Sheryl Crow) - What You Give Away

You read the business page
See how you did today
life just passing by
You live up on the hill
You've got a view that kills
Never wonder why
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray¹?
You know there's gonna be a judgment² day
So what will you say?
[Chorus:]
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
What you give away
There's people on the street
Ai't got enough to eat
You just shake your head
The measure³ of a man is one who lends a hand
That's what my father said
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?
[Chorus]
It's what you give away
After you've counted everything you saved
Do you ever hit your knees and pray?
You know there's gonna be a judgment day
So what will you say?
No matter what you make
All that you can take
Is what you give away
You know it's not too late
It's all for Heaven's sake
What you give away
What you give away
What you give away
