[Intro]
D A C Bm Bm/D
[verse 1]
E
A single voice
D A
Is joined by multitudes in song,
E
With every verse,
D A E
They're finding harmonies that rise to Heaven sure and strong.
Em D A
Richer and richer the soil on which they thrive,
Em D E
Higher and higher a hymn of what it means to be alive
[chorus]
A
You've got to give a little more than you take,
E D
You've got a leave a little more than was here,
A E
You maybe prideful of the strides you will make,
E7 A E
But keep one thing clear,
A
You're just a player in a much bigger plan,
E D
And still you have to give it all that you can,
A E
The very measure of your soul is at stake,
D A
You've got to give a little more than you take.
C Bm
[verse 2]
E
The seasons fly,
D A
A man stands where a boy once stood,
E
His path unfolds,
D A E
And unafraid he walks in service of a greater good.
Em D A
Deeper and deeper the lessons he has known,
Em D E
Over and over the message he is surely being shown
[chorus]
