No One Owns the Sun

[Verse 1]
You can put a price on a doorway
You can lock up a name in a room
You can draw a line round a garden
Say the whole thing belongs to you

But I’ve got more than my two hands can hold
More than a fence can keep
So I set it down where the tired ones gather
And let it travel free

[Pre-Chorus]
Take what you need
There’s more where it came from
No claim, no key
No one owns the sun

[Chorus]
I give it away, give it away
Love is not a thing to keep
I give it away, give it away
Plant it where the ground runs deep
If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No”
There’s enough for everyone to know
I give it away, give it away
Love grows when it’s let go

[Verse 2]
At the corner, someone shares an orange
Two halves on a paper sack
A stranger holds the door for a mother
With both hands full, coming back

I’ve seen a small kindness cross a whole town
Like bread passed down a row
You don’t lose a thing by opening your fingers
You make a place for more to grow

[Pre-Chorus]
Take what you need
There’s more where it came from
No claim, no key
No one owns the sun

[Chorus]
I give it away, give it away
Love is not a thing to keep
I give it away, give it away
Plant it where the ground runs deep
If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No”
There’s enough for everyone to know
I give it away, give it away
Love grows when it’s let go

[Bridge]
You can’t lock the rain in a jar
You can’t make the spring stand still
A hand that opens leaves room for another
A heart can choose, and will

[Final Chorus]
I give it away, give it away
Love is not a thing to keep
I give it away, give it away
Plant it where the ground runs deep
If the world says, “Mine,” I’ll say, “No”
There’s enough for everyone to know
I give it away, give it away
Love grows when it’s let go
I give it away, give it away
Let it find whoever needs it most
