Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If you're gonna preach
It's gotta be more
Than what you say
Something you can see
It's gotta be living
Gotta be breathing
'Cause if you want to reach
If you really wanna
Be the change
Nothing's gonna speak
Nothing's gonna be as big
As a little when you just obey
It starts with love
Living with an open hand
It starts with love
Giving when you think you can't
It looks like faith
Moves like grace
And it all begins above
It starts with love
Maybe it'll hurt
Maybe it'll cost you
All you've got
But everything it's worth
You'll only find it
When you're reminded that
Someone else found you
Lost in the dark
And lifted you in their arms
Well isn't that enough for
You to be the one to
Reach for somebody else
It starts with love
Living with an open hand
It starts with love
Giving when you think you can't
It looks like faith
Moves like grace
And it all begins above
It starts with love, love
It starts with love, love
If your heart's still beating
Give it away, give it away
The whole world needs it
So give it away
It starts with love
It starts with love
It starts with love
Living with an open hand
It starts with love
Giving when you think you can't
It looks like faith
Moves like grace
And it all begins above
It starts with love, love
It starts with love, love
If your heart's still beating
Give it away, give it away
The whole world needs it
So give it away
If your heart's still beating
Give it away
