Amanda Vernon - Why Not Be Generous? lyrics

Artist: Amanda Vernon

album: Why Not Be Generous?


Maybe someone else has different thoughts than you
Maybe someone else is of
Different motivation, different persuasion
Congratulations, you're unique
No, really this isn't just some sappy song by a millennial
Trust me, what I'm trying to say, no
What I'm trying to ask is
Have you ever thought of giving yourself away
Have you ever thought of laying down your whole life
You could call it a living sacrifice
Does it secretly sound nice
In the meantime
Somebody else is hanging on by a thread
Somebody else feels like they're better off
Not here, not now
And there you are, your joy abounds
Why not risk a mistake
Why not give it away
Are you afraid of loving too much
Why not be generous
Maybe you think you don't have enough to give
Maybe you say you're not built for it
You're so hyper-aware of your weaknesses
Congratulations, you're humble
No really, this isn't just some guilt trip by a millennial
Trust me, what I'm trying to say, no
What I'm trying to ask is
Have you ever thought of giving yourself away
Have you ever thought
Of laying down your whole life
You could call it a living sacrifice
Does it secretly sound nice
In the meantime
Somebody else is hanging on by a thread
Somebody else feels like they're better off
Not here, not now
And there you are, your joy abounds
Why not risk a mistake
Why not give it away
Are you afraid of loving too much
Why not be generous
When your hand is in the hand of
The one who calls your name
All He asks is that you give yourself away
Imagine how you'll feel
To one day hear him say
It was me hanging on by a thread
It was me feeling better off
Not here, not now
There you were, your joy spilled out
You risked a mistake
You gave it away
You weren't afraid of loving too much
You were so generous
