More Who Have Less

It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now.

You think you need all that
You know your clothes and shoes are fad
You love your multimedia
We keep on gettin’ greedier
But all around the world
There live some little boys and girls
Who get their food as bits and parts
Yet grateful for their beating hearts

And I know that you know
There’s a time to give it up
And a time to give it out
Oh, and I see that you see
There are some who have more
But there are more who have less

I see a man walking the block
With small pockets but a heart
That warms up his cardboard box
Yet he’ll give you all he’s got
He holds out his cupped hands
You walk by, don’t give a damn
Can’t spare a single dime
Or a second of your time

And I know that you know
There’s a time to give it up
And a time to give it out
Oh, and I see that you see
There are some who have more
But there are more who have
Oh, Oh, less.

So take a look around
And if another’s luck is down
See what you can do without
To help that someone out
Unlock the light inside
And you might be surprised
‘cause when you give silver, I’m told
It comes back to you as gold

Oh, and I know that you know
There’s a time to give it up
And a time to give it out
Oh, and I see that you see
There are some who have more
But there are more who have less

I just know what I know
The more that you give
The more of Life you live.
