So keep your hand wide open
With a gentle kind of motion
Throw it away
If it belongs to you
Let the sun shine through
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
And keep your hand wide open
And a hand to help us stand
Give your love, live your life
Throw it away
There's a hand to rock the cradle
If it belongs to you
Give your love, live your life
In a magic book
If it belongs to you
Throw it away
'Cause you can never lose a thing
If it belongs to you
And the hand's unclenched and open
One night I found these magic words
The things I gave away
Give your love, live your life
I search the house and look
And keep your hand wide open
Throw it away
You can never ever lose a thing
Throw it away
'Cause you can never lose a thing
Let the sun shine through
Each and every day
You can never ever lose a thing
Let the sun shine through
And when I'm in a certain mood
Throw it away
If you're needing anything
You can never ever lose a thing
Each and every day
Gifts of life and love it brings
As it moves across the land
And think about the things I lost
If it belongs to you
And keep your hand wide open
Each and every day
'Cause you can never lose a thing
