AUDIO ONLY. Happy Rhodes - RhodeSongs (1994 compilation) - 09 - "Given In" (acoustic)

Lyrics:

Given In (Recorded for "World Cafe", 1991, original version on Rhodes I)

I have my pain
I have my love
and my hate

And I'll not live without one of them
And I do what I can
to keep on top of every one of them

I've got to live by the rules of my heart
and to trust my feeble mind
And I do what I can
to keep on top of every one of them

Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through

Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through

I have a friend who's | been inside my tiny brain
He's seen the aging | and the mildew from the rain
He does what he can
to keep on top of every one of them

At last I know what's in my soul
and in my bones
The things that cannot be denied

And I do what I can
to keep on top of every one of them
I do what I can to ward away
the very death of them

Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through

Oh child be strong in all you do
Know your heart through and through
