Give blood
But you may find that blood is not enough
Give blood
And there are some who'll say it's not enough
Give blood
But don't expect to ever see reward
Give blood
You can give it all but still you're asked for more
Give blood
But it could cost more than your dignity
Give blood
Parade your pallor in inequity
Give blood
They will cry and say they're in your debt
Give blood
But then they'll sigh and they will soon forget
[Spoken in background]
We're heading for the day of reckoning, I'm telling ya
It's all building up to something, something that can only be redeemed with fire
So give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give blood
But you may find that blood is not enough
Give blood
And there are some who'll say it's not enough
Give blood
But don't expect to ever see reward
Give blood
You can give it all, but still you'll be asked for more
So give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love, give love and keep blood between brothers
Give your love and keep blood between brothers
Give your love and keep blood between brothers
Give love, give love, give love and keep blood between brothers
Give love, your love, and keep blood between brothers
Give love and keep blood between brothers
But you may find that blood is not enough
Give blood
And there are some who'll say it's not enough
Give blood
But don't expect to ever see reward
Give blood
You can give it all but still you're asked for more
Give blood
But it could cost more than your dignity
Give blood
Parade your pallor in inequity
Give blood
They will cry and say they're in your debt
Give blood
But then they'll sigh and they will soon forget
