Johnny baker works down at the mill Makes enough to make ends meet And pay his bills Even though he comes from the wrong side of the tracks He's the first on there to lend a hand Or give the shirt right off his back
(chorus) From what we give we make a living Those dollars, diamonds and gold But that old cliche' is a given You reap what you sow When you reach out your hand and heart Then your soul is satisfied From what we give we make a living From what we give We make a life
Mr. millers got a mansion on the hill He spent his whole life Chasing that almighty dollar bill But all his so-called riches Somethings missing in his soul It takes more than having everything To make a man feel whole
(repeat chorus)
(tag) When you reach out your hand and your heart Then your soul is satisfied From what we give we make a living From what we give We make a life From what we give we make a living From what we give We make a life
