Verse 1:
Badd9 G D
I saw a man today, his whole world across his back
A Badd9 G
A living monument opposed to my success
Badd9 G D
I tried to look into his eyes as he shuffled past my car
A Badd9 G
Sweat beading on his skin, his clothes and hair a mess.
Em7 G
As the light turned green and I pulled away he slowly disappeared
Em7 G A
Just a memory of another chance I failed to show your love here
Chorus 1:
G D A Badd9 A G
I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
D A Badd9 A G D A
I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save-ave-ave
B9 A G D A
Only you can save-ave-ave
Verse 2:
Badd9 G D A B9 G
I have to wonder if I really want to know
The struggle and the pain that others feel
Do I want to hear the stories I see echoed in their eyes
Or is this love I say that I'm reflecting even real?
Em7 G Em7 G A
As the light turns on inside my head and I slowly disappear
I steel myself 'cause what You call for me is to show Your love here
Chorus 2:
I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
I want to reach my hand out to the lost 'cause I know your hand will save.
I want to love just like you loved I want to give just like you gave
I want to reach out with your hand 'cause only you can save-ave-ave
Only you can save-ave-ave

You help me understand
G A
That I'm your hands and feet hidden behind this frail human disguise
Chorus 3:
I want to love because you loved. I want to give because you gave.
