[Verse 1]
You packed your dreams
In a secondhand tote
Names in your phone
Like stars you still quote
You lift up your friends
When you’re running on fumes
You’re building a world
In these borrowed rooms
[Pre-Chorus]
You pour yourself out
Into everyone’s days
But look at your hands
They’re covered in grace
[Chorus]
Giving to gain
That’s your secret flame
Every time you share your strength
You write your own name
In the sky
In the ground
In the lives all around
Happy that we get to say
You’re giving to gain
(oh, today and every day)
[Verse 2]
You speak your truth
In a crowded boardroom
You hold a small hand
On a late afternoon
You laugh too loud
When the story hits home
You’re changing the script
Line by line on your own
[Pre-Chorus]
You carry the weight
While you open the doors
You don’t ask for praise
You just ask for more
[Chorus]
Giving to gain
That’s your secret flame
Every time you share your strength
You write your own name
In the sky
In the ground
In the lives all around
Happy that we get to say
You’re giving to gain
(oh, today and every day)
[Bridge]
Here’s to the mothers
The sisters
The friends
To those who start over
To those who won’t bend
Here’s to the questions
You turned into change
To every small act
That rewired the game
[Chorus]
Giving to gain
That’s your secret flame
Every time you share your strength
You write your own name
In the sky
In the ground
In the lives all around
Happy that we get to say
You’re giving to gain
(yeah, today and every day)
