Empty bowl winter Somebody’s been here Through the cold The going’s getting tough This time of year makes you happy Or breaks you down There’s so much How come there’s not enough But I’ll sing like this song could fill a thousand plates Sing like I’m wrapping up a thousand gifts Some things will never change You get back what you give So give it away Give it away, what you can, what you can Give it away Empty bowl winter What did we miss here When the better luck was going around ‘Cause outside of your love The one thing I’m sure of Is the chill in my bones And the snow on the ground But we’ll sing like this song could fill a thousand plates Sing like we’re wrapping up a thousand gifts Some things will never change You get back what you give So give it away Give it away – what you can, what you can Give it away You get back what you give So give it away (fill up an empty bowl) Give it away, what you can, what you can (reach out and touch a soul) Give it away (fill up an empty bowl) You get back what you give
