From the day you're born, people give to you
They give but never take
They smile and cheer and wait for you
They applaud all the progress you make
They watch you grow into the life you live
And as you live you learn
It seems that all they do is give
But get so little in return
You notice how much these people care
And help you become who you are
You know they may not always be there
But they'll never be too far
Because what they give stays with you
And helps you through the years
It makes you want to give some too
And wipe away other's tears
Then you get your chance, one day
To pass on the love you've got
So you help others on their way
And grow to love them a lot
The more you give you come to find
That the ones you love, love back
And with each person that you are kind
You see you get more when giving back
