For My Own - Sir Rosevelt

Save some for my own

Save some for my own

Gather round let me tell you a story

When I was a young man on the road

I knew the world was there for the taking

I thought I could make it on my own

Don’t you burn too bright

For too long

Don’t you wait

Til the shine is gone

We are born just to give

For as long as you live

Oh you gotta save some for your own

If you don’t save some for yourself

You can’t love nobody else

Mmmm you gotta save some for your own

For my own

For my own

Life’s a marathon it ain’t a sprint we’re runnin'

Stop and breathe we’re only flesh and bone

Give yourself to the ones who really need it

Help them to make it on their own

Don’t you burn too bright

For too long

Don’t you wait

Til the shine is gone

Don’t you burn too bright

For too long

Don’t you wait

Til the shine is gone

We are born just to give

For as long as you live

Oh you gotta save some for your own

If you don’t save some for yourself

You can’t love nobody else

Mmmm you gotta save some for your own

I ain’t comin' here to be your preacher

I ain’t sayin' it’s the only way

Hard livin' makes people believers

Pay attention to what I say

Everybody needs a piece of freedom

Society is like a guilty cage

Karma is a boomerang for people

And what you do will come around one day

We are born just to give

For as long as we live

Oh you gotta save some for your own

If you don’t save some for yourself

You can’t love nobody else

Mmmm you gotta save some for your own

For my own

For my own

For my own

For my own

Save some for my own
