Like a grain of sand
That wants to be
A rolling stone
I want to be the man
I'm not
And have the things
I really haven't got
And that's a lot

There'll be joy
And there'll be laughter
Something big is what I'm after now
Yes, it's what I'm after now

After taking, take up giving
Something big is what I'm living for
Yes, it's what I'm living for
Living for

Why do I go on
And fill my life with little things
When there are big things I
Must do
And lots of dreams
That really should come true
Before I'm through

There'll be joy

After taking, take up giving
