[Intro]
I’ve learned a thing or two
(Along the way)
Some things that were true
(Are different today)
I don’t know everything
(Who could?)
But I know a little something
(That is pretty good)
[Verse 1]
You can have a pocket full
Of dollars and gold
But there’s one kind of treasure
That can’t be bought or sold
You can build a castle
With a wall ten miles wide
But hope needs a doorway
(For love to get inside)
You can measure your fortune
You can count every dime
But money can’t purchase
(A moment in time)
[Pre-Chorus]
So when the numbers don’t add up
And the road gets rough
Look around you
(You may already have enough)
[Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!
Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…
Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)
[Verse 2]
Give a little kindness
(Give a little more)
Open up your heart
(Open up the door)
[Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!
Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…
Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)
[Bridge]
Pride wails:
“I’m the legend of the tales”
(Love sings:
“Look what the heart brings”)
Fear cries:
“All hope dies!”
(Hope replies:
“Open your eyes”)
[Break]
Give!
(Live!)
Give!
(Live!)
Give a little hope
(Give a little love)
Live!
(Strive to come alive)
Live!
(Live!)
Love out loud
(Part the clouds)
[Instrumental]
[Warm guitar]
[Big piano chords]
[Handclaps]
[Call and response]
What do you know?
(Love!)
What do you need?
(Hope!)
What can you give?
(Love!)
How do you live?
(Thrive alive)
[Final Chorus]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!
Come on… give ‘er a go!
(Love helps hope grow)
So…
Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)
[Final Refrain]
This is what I know:
(Money can’t buy you hope)
Nope!
This is what I know:
(Love helps hope grow)
So…
Don’t be proud
(Love out loud)
Go on… live!
(Love! Give, give, give)
[Outro]
Give a little hope…
(Give!)
Give a little love…
(Live!)
Give what you can…
(Give, give, give!)
And when you don’t know
What tomorrow brings…
(The heart sings)
Love
That’s the show…
(What I know)
