Tuesdays (Live 2022)

When it gets down to it
You have to understand
You can’t give away something
you don’t already have.
If it’s not in your pocket
Or if it’s not in your heart
If you don’t own it
Where do even you start?
Whatever you do to others
It comes back to you
Isn’t that what they say
And even though it might be true?
When you’ve got no money
You get by on what you have
You make do with what’s there
Even with a smile or maybe a laugh.
But when you  get down to it
You have to understand
You can’t give away something
you don’t already have.
When it comes to love
It takes time to learn
Somethings aren’t a given
But are things you have to earn.
Caring might not come easy
For some that might be true
But along with life experience
Caring first begins within you.
If you don’t care about yourself
Then who is out there that will?
If you can’t rise out of darkness
Isn’t that the sun coming up over the hill?
If you can’t love yourself
Then keep trying until you do.
If you can’t find hidden value 
Keep digging until you do.
When you  get down to it
You have to understand
You can’t give away something
you don’t already have.
