[Verse]
Empty palms reaching for a spark
Shadows lurking deep in the dark
Eyes wide shut hearts turned to stone
Where's the light we call our own
[Verse 2]
Clenched fists won't ever grow
It's the open hand that starts to show
A seed of hope a thread of gold
The warmth of giving never cold
[Chorus]
Charity burns like fire inside
Breaks the walls where we hide
The more we give the less we lose
An open heart we choose
[Verse 3]
The world turns heavy with its weight
Greed and fear twisting fate
But one touch can heal the break
A soul revived for goodness' sake
[Bridge]
It's not a thing you hold or keep
Not a promise carved too deep
It's a ripple spreading far and wide
A quiet voice we can't deny
[Chorus]
Charity burns like fire inside
Breaks the walls where we hide
The more we give the less we lose
An open heart we choose
