I think about the life I live A figure made of clay think about the things I lost The things I gave away [ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e95651-cassandra_wilson~throw_it_away_lyrics.html ] 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 Throw it away Give your love, live your life Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open Let the sunshine 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 my hand's unclenched and open Gifts of life it brings So keep your hand wide open If you're needing anything
You can throw it away You can throw it away Give your love, live your life Each and every day
And keep your hand wide open Let the sunshine through Because you can never lose a thing If it belongs to you
There's a natural application to what we own and claim possessing and belonging to aknowledging a name
So keep your hand wide open if you're needing love today 'Cause you can't lose it even if you throw it all away
You can 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 come through Cause you can never lose a thing If it belongs to you
