I think about the life i live

A figure made of clay

And think about the things i lost

The things i gave away

And when i'm in a certain mood

I search the house and look

One night i found these magic words

In a magic book

Throw it away

You can throw it away

Live your life give your love

Each and every day

And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

There'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 land

And the hand's unclenched and open

Gifts of love and life it brings

So keep your hand wide open

If you're needing anything

Throw it away

You can throw it away

Live your life give your love

Each and every day

And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

So keep your hand wide open

If you're needing love today

Cause you can lose a thing

You throw it all away

Throw it away

You can throw it away

Live your life give your love

Each and every day

And keep your hand wide open

Let the sun shine through

Cause you can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

You can never lose a thing

If it belongs to you

You can never ever lose a thing

If it belongs to you
