SONG FOR DAVID

Don’t throw it away
don’t throw it away
don’t waste the only live you’ve got
or you’ll regret it some day

Don’t throw it away
don’t throw it away
don’t reject the love that comes your way
or you’ll regret it some day

Be careful, be wise
keep the dust out of your eyes
follow the truth and turn your back upon the lies
be careful, bur wise

Because man’s life is like the clay
it’s like a flower that passes in day
but only a fool would throw a flower away
so don’t throw it away

Jesus loves you and I
why don’t we give his love a try
he loved us so much he was willing to die
don’t pass that by

On the cross where he bled
his heart was broken for the foolish lives we’ve led
he took our poison and gave the water of life instead
so don’t throw that away

Don’t throw it away
don’t throw it away
don’t waste the only life you’ve got
or you’ll regret it some day
don’t reject the love that comes your way
or you’ll regret it some day.
