Lyrics

To give is the reason I live
To give all I can give
In return for the life that I earn

I was born as a part of the plan
With the heart of a man
With a will to survive

And I believe
Everything on this earth
Having meaning and worth

Made of concrete and air
Is to share and to feel
Justify, I exist

To describe on the list
Of someone
With a place in the sun

Here I stand
Reaching out for the sky
Till the day that I die

I must give all I can
When I go
I'll go out empty hand

Leaving dust to the land
Just the soul I have found
Leaves the ground

Notes

Columbia Pitman pressing variant (identified by p stamped into its runouts) with differences in typesetting layout and other attributes from Mercury Record Manufacturing Company variant including: - Music publishing listed only as "Saturday Music Inc. & Seasons Four," last line "Music Corp." omitted - Producer/director credit divided among four lines, with "AND" on separate line (and in place of ampersand [&]) - A side title all on one line, with subtitle in all caps - Artist name in thicker, heavier font from song titles - Label blanks in cyan/turquoise and magenta color scheme, rather than in periwinkle blue and Portland orange
