lyrics

An open heart and an open mind
open eyes and arms open wide
a hard, hard head and a strong strong back
standing up straight, never looking back

These are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away so willingly
these are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away
so freely

everything you had and a little more
a key of love to unlock every door
a roof over our heads to cover the holes in the floor
we didn't have much, but we had enough
we had all we needed because
all you need is love

these are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away so willingly
these are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away
so lovingly

an endless spring of generosity
kindness patience and humility
a kind of peace that does transcend
a kind of love that never ends

these are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away so willingly
these are the things you gave to me
and you gave them all away so willingly

I hope someday to pass it on
someday my children may sing this song
and your love light will shine on
out of the darkness and into the great beyond
