I've never met someone before
Who asked me to come and be the cause
Of their pure joy or their deepest pain
Or made me feel I'm not in vain
I've never met someone so kind
To let me in with nothing in mind
Empty-handed yet they'd still say
"Stay as long as you wish don't ever repay"
So why am I the one who tries
To give and give without replies?
If no one's done the same for me
Why do I stay this way so free?
Oooh Maybe the answer's deep inside
In what our parents used to guide
Oooh "Treat the world the way you'd want"
Ahhh "To be treated by everyone"
I've never asked for much in return
Just a flame that continues to burn
But even when the fire goes out
I still give warmth without a doubt
I've always offered all I had
Even when times were cold and bad
No expectations just pure intent
Even though my heart's been bent
So why do I still give so much
When no one seems to keep in touch?
Maybe that's just the way I'm made
To keep on shining never fade
Oooh Maybe the answer's deep inside
In what our parents used to guide
Oooh "Treat the world the way you'd want"
Ahhh "To be treated by everyone"
So I'll continue being this way
Giving love come what may
For in the end what sets me free
Is being the change I want to see
