LeAnn Rimes, Give.
Official Full Length Country Music Video with Lyrics.
LeAnn Rimes has released a powerful and moving video for her new song “Give” from her upcoming album Lady & Gentlemen out September 27. The soaring, moving ballad showcases LeAnn’s signature voice wrapped around inspirational and uplifting lyrics.
“‘Give’ is a song with a message about how if we want love, kindness and happiness in our lives, then we need to give some of that back,” LeAnn says. “I believe that message needs to be shared with the world.”
LeAnn wanted to create a video for the song that that tied into its message, and raised awareness of an issue that is very important to her — homeless teens across America.
Sadly, 13 homeless kids die on the street every day. In Chicago alone, where the video was filmed on location with youth there, there are approximately 25,000 homeless youth. For the video, LeAnn partnered with StandUp For Kids who’s mission is to help homeless and street kids. Every day, in cities across the country, their volunteers go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives. The video includes several teens participating from Chicago’s own StandUp For Kids program.
“My life is forever changed from this experience,” shares LeAnn. “One thing they all said to me is no one looks them in the eye when they see them on the streets, so there’s a deep loneliness there and a feeling of almost not existing. I will now always look anyone who’s homeless in the eye and smile. That smile could make their whole day.”

LeAnn Rimes, Give Lyrics.
Artist: LeAnn Rimes
Song: Give
Album: Lady & Gentlemen
Everybody’s reachin’ for something
Every day pullin’ and tugging
And always wantin’ a little more
Holdin’ on to her like an anchor
Treatin’ those we love like strangers
Takin’ names and keeping score
We all know, what we’re really after
Somewhere along the road, we got it backwards
If you want to give love then give it
If you want to feel some forgiveness
Then you’ve gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness, show some
You’ll be surprised of how much finds its way back home
It don’t matter what it is
If you want it, give.
I been down right stubborn,
At one time or another,
And found it easier to bend.
I’ve had a shoulder to lean on
Been the one who got to be strong
And peace was waiting at both ends
I’ve felt the power, I’ve seen what it can do
It’s seemed so simple, so simple that it’s true
If you want to give love then give it
If you want to feel some forgiveness
Then you’ve gotta let go and do some forgiving of your own
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness, show some
You’ll be surprised of how much finds its way back home
It don’t matter what it is
If you want it, give.
If you want a friend then be one
A little bit of kindness show some
You’ll be surprised of how much finds its way back home
It don’t matter what it is
If you want it, give.
