Kind friends all gathered 'round,
there's something I would say:
That what brings us together here
has blessed us all today.
Love has made a circle that holds us
all inside;
Where strangers are as family,
loneliness can't hide.
You must give yourself to love if love
is what you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and
laughter,
And give yourself to love, give
yourself to love.
I've walked these mountains in the
rain and learned to love the wind;
I've been up before the sunrise to
watch the day begin.
I always knew I'd find you, though I
never did know how;
Like sunshine on a cloudy day, you
stand before me now.
So give yourself to love if love is what
you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and
laughter,
And give yourself to love, give
yourself to love.
Love is born in fire; it's planted like a
seed.
Love can't give you everything, but it
gives you what you need.
And love comes when you're ready,
love comes when you're afraid;
It'll be your greatest teacher, the best
friend you have made.
So give yourself to if love is what
you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and
laughter,
And give yourself to love, give
yourself to love.
Give yourself to love, if love is what
you're after;
Open up your hearts to the tears and
laughter,
And give yourself to love, give
yourself to love.
