Throw It Away Lyrics


I think about the life I live
A figure made of clay
And think about the things I lost
The things I gave awayAnd when I'm in a certain mood
I search the house and look
One night I found these magic words
In a magic bookThrow it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every dayAnd keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to youThere's a hand to rock the cradle
And a hand to help us stand
With a gentle kind of motion
As it moves across the landAnd the hand's unclenched and open
Gifts of life and love it brings
So keep your hand wide open

If you're needing anythingThrow it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every dayAnd keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to youThrow it away
Throw it away
Give your love, live your life
Each and every dayAnd keep your hand wide open
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to youYou can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you
You can never ever lose a thing
If it belongs to you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
