Can You

Can You... Give more than you take Forgive when mistakes are made Put yourself in others place Extend a hand of grace Can You... Hold on and not let go Show that love is all you know Plant the seed and watch it grow Into something beautiful Can You... Give all that you have Down to the very last Stand behind the words you've said If it cost all you have left Can you... Fight for what is right And to your own self be denied Choose the narrow not the wide Where all you do is in the light Can you... Hold tight to the truth In all it is you do In everything you choose Can all of this you do
