It's feeling like it's time to ring the changes
It's feeling like it's time to be reborn
'Cause here we go again
Proclaiming it's the end
And reaching out for something
To bring it back again
We're living on a good fortune
We're cheating all our friends
So tell me, oh tell me
Now where's it going to end.

I hope it's not too late to see the danger
I'd really like to wake and see the dawn
'Cause here we go again
We're trying to pretend
We're blaming one another
For what is ours to mend
We're fighting for the future
We're ringing out the past
It feels good, it feels good
But is it going to last?

Give me love,
Give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope,
Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life,
Give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time,
Give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope

'Cause everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well, everything is not like you'd like it to be
Everything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it to be

Well everything is a turn up, turnaround
And everything is just upside, upside-down
Well nothing is as you'd like it to be
And everything is a two-bit, two-bit town
And everybody's just out to drag you down
Well nothing is as you'd like it, like it to be
I may not love you, but I can't stop thinking 'bout
you
Give me love... reason to hope
I see just what I want to see
Just what I want to be
I can be anytime, anyplace, anywhere
I go just where I want to go
Just when I want to know
I can go anytime, anyplace, anywhere

Things just ain't what they used to be
Ain't what they ought to be
Ain't what they've got to be, gonna be probably

Things just ain't gonna get to me
Ain't gonna bother me
Ain't gonna worry me, hurry me, let'em be

Give me love,
Give me love, give me joy, give me pain
Give me light, give me starting again
Give me hope,
Give me hope, give me sun, give me rain
Get me up, get me dancing again
Give me life,
Give me life, give me high, give me low
Give me truth, give me something to know
Give me time,
Give me time, give me room, give me rope
Give me sign, give me reason to hope
GIVE ME LIFE
