A single voice is joined by multitudes in song
With every verse they're finding harmonies
That rise to Heaven sure and strong
Richer and richer the soil on which they thrive
And higher a hymn of what it means to be alive

You've got to give a little more than you take
You've got to leave a little more than was here
You may be prideful of the strides you will make
But keep one thing clear

You're just a player in a much bigger plan
And still you have to give it all that you can
The very measure of your soul is at stake
You've got to give a little more than you take

The seasons fly, a man stands where a boy once stood
His path unfolds and unafraid he walks
In service of a greater good
Deeper and deeper the lessons he has known
Over and over the message he is surely being shown

You've got to give a little more than you take
You've got to leave a little more than was here
You may be prideful of the strides you will make

But keep one thing clear
You're just a player in a much bigger plan
And still you have to give it all that you can
The very measure of your soul is at stake
You've got to give a little more than you take
