Lyrics
What Gives
by Michael Lyon
Loss out of hand, I just don’t understand
What gives someone with gun or knife
the right to take another’s life?
Car sped too fast, made this child’s breath its last
What gives someone who doesn’t care
a license used to spread despair?
Oh, what gives? Why is this?
All we have is what we give
When will this end? Where’s our common sense?
Hopes and dreams, big and small
They belong to us all…
Oh, what gives? So it is
All we have is what we give
