Give it all away

Riaan Smit 1988 (Windhoek)

Lyric
I've been searching for new ideas
Where they come from it's not clear
But god knows I'm gonna find them anyway
If I fall pray to all my fears
Then before they come they’ll disappear
So now, I'm gonna give it all away

No my soul is not for sale
I may be living living in a fairy-tale
God knows I'm gonna give it all away
So catch me if I fall or ever fail
Because my soul is not for sale
Yes I'm going to give it all away
