Generosity in Lyrics: Songs About Giving

As the holiday season approaches, ‘tis the season to be jolly.’ And nothing can get us more into the holiday spirit than some good old generosity. In fact, giving is not only good for others but also great for our souls. So, what better way to celebrate this festive time of year than by singing along with some heartwarming songs about giving? Here are some of the best ones:

1. “We Are The World”

We are the world, we are the children…” This iconic song was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and released back in 1985 as a charity single to raise funds for African famine relief. The song features a star-studded cast of musicians such as Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Cyndi Lauper among others.

2.”Man In The Mirror”

Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” is another classic song that promotes kindness and generosity. Its powerful message urges us to take action instead of just talking or complaining about things we want changed around us.

3.”Heal The World”

Another Michael Jackson hit makes its way onto our list! In his very same album where we found “Man In The Mirror,” he created an entire piece focused on helping out those who need it most with “Heal The World.”

4.“Lean On Me”

The relentless Bill Withers croons away asking us all to help one another during tough times—”: Lean on me, when you’re not strong/And I’ll be your friend/I’ll help you carry on.”

Some other remarkable tunes will make you feel associated with every social being partaking within different societal instances.

“Heart Of Gold”: Neil Young melts hearts everywhere urging people around him always looking for lightening to steer clear of false promises and to seek authenticity in “Heart Of Gold. “

“You’ve Got A Friend”: Carole King goes through anything with a smile with “You’ve Got A Friend,” saying, “‘Cause you’ve got a friend in me’.”

“I’ll Be There For You (Theme From ‘Friends’)”: The jazzy opening makes us think back on the all-time favorite show, Friends’s theme song by The Rembrandts, rings true: “I’ll be there for you/When the rain starts to pour/I’ll be there for you/Like I’ve been before.”

“Rise Up”: Andra Day only wants one thing from her listeners with this motivational ‘get up off your feet,’ tune— rise up! In addition now more than ever, we could use some extra motivation when times get tough.

Several different cultures have their interpretation of generosity as well. Looking beyond typical western culture is always fascinating.

“Unsung Heroes”: India.Arie sends honor almost everyone neglects daily

“Inshallah”: Maher Zain gives love songs its own twist advocating for understanding between peoples across borders which blends Arabic and English seamlessly

“The Village That They Call ‘The Moy’”: Moya Brennan from Ireland effortlessly demonstrates how music can transport people together incredibly unitedly under such distinctive heritage backgrounds.

Conclusion

We all crave inspiration to help us do good deeds continuously; these generous pieces offer instant reconciliation. These lyrics spread an affirmative message that warms our hearts leaving room for those who may follow hopefully lending out a helping hand when someone needs it most — isn’t that what giving is all about anyway? ‘It’s time we share this world, could be great if we harmon-ize’ lyrically stated Bob Marley so many years ago – but not forgotten till this day!

On behalf of every living soul out there struggling right now, a big thank you for being generous with your love and TLC. A debt that cannot be repaid!

Happy Holidays fellow beings!
