Give the Love Around

To your brother
To your sister
To your missis
To your mister
To your friends
To your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes

[Verse 1: Danny O'Donoghue]
Evil comes from the top and it spreads right 'round
If you treat a man wrong, he's gon' pass it on down
To the next in line
Who's probably his wife
Bringing up his kids
Now watch your momma cry
And they pick it up 'cause they learn everything
Life has a funny way of going in a ring
End up growing up in trouble with the law
Standing in the cuffs that the father once wore

[Pre-Hook]
Now it seems that every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
They're tryna fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost its trust (lost its trust)
We gotta change it before the train leaves the station
And realize the revolution ain't a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears, innovation
It starts with us (starts with us)

[Hook]
Yeah, it starts by giving love to your brother
Giving love to your sister
Giving love to your missis
Love to your mister
Giving love to your friends
Love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
(Repeat 2x)

Give the love around-round, back around it goes

[Verse 2: Danny O'Donoghue]
Now we're all just spokes working in a wheel
Spinnin' all around life's cruel battlefield
Draw a circle in the sand on a rainy day
Wash it wash away
I bet it shows up on a sunny beach a thousand miles away
A flutter from a butterfly
Cause a storm, over half a million die
But we don't care 'cause we're all desensitized
We don't realize
We're putting all this shit before our children's eyes

[Pre-Hook]
Now every brand new generation
Have all been growing up with cracks in the foundation
They're tryna fill the holes of a whole damn nation
That's lost its trust (that lost its trust)
We gotta change it before the train leaves the station
And realize the revolution ain't a revelation
It takes blood, sweat, tears, innovation
It starts with us (it starts with us)

[Hook]
It starts by giving love to your brother
Giving love to your sister
Giving love to your missis
Love to your mister
Giving love to your friends
Love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
(Repeat 2x)

Give the love the love around and back around it goes...
(Around it goes, around it goes...)

Love to your friends
Yo, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes

[Bridge: Mark Sheehan]
See the thing about karma is
She loves a bit of drama, yeah
Loves to hunt you down and pay you back for the things you did
Before you turn a positive to a negative
Better pray you know exactly who the f**k you're dealing with
No, this not a dress rehearsal
Let me tell you, kid
Whatever you put out there's coming back again
Years may burn
Table's gonna turn
And karma's coming back around
Either way you're gonna learn
To give love to your neighbor
Love to yourself
It don't matter 'bout your status, man
Your health is your wealth
We can all point the finger
But there's four pointing back at yourself
I'll be the bigger man now
Give a little help

[Hook]
It starts by giving love to your brother
Giving love to your sister
Giving love to your missis
Love to your mister
Giving love to your friends
Love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
(Repeat 2x)

Give the love around and back around it goes...
(Around it goes, around it goes..)
Love to your friends
Yo, love to your foes
Give the love around and back around it goes
Around it goes, around it goes...
Give the love and back around it goes
