YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE
OUT NOW
‘You need to know, you reap what you sow
You get what you give, it’s our time to live
I’ll give you respect, you give me yours
Respect will include everyone in our neighbourhood’
The ‘24/7’s’ with Scott Nicol at Dunlop Primary
I had a wonderful time writing ‘You get what you give’ early 2023 with the amazing P7 pupils at Dunlop Primary School in East Ayrshire.
The song is rocking and it includes the school’s values. They had so many great ideas and were really creative. Their teacher Miss McCrae was truly an inspiration and she has such an amazing voice.
They chose the band name ‘24/7s’… which is a clever take on their class which actually has 24 pupils and of course they are P7’s… brilliant.
You can download and stream the track now. It is on all the major platforms. They may be shooting a video to accompany the track.
I would like to thank the wonderful Jamie Clark for recording, mixing and playing on the song.
Hope you enjoy and look out for some live performances!
LYRICS
1.
Be true to yourself and the world around you
If you lie, the world is fake around you
Just keep it real and it will help you to heal
Have some faith and just be honest
This is our vow, this is our promise
Cry if you lie and your peace it will steal, you’re on a broken wheel
Chorus
Honestly, honesty is such an important thing
If you get it right it will make your heart sing
Honestly, honesty will bring you peace of mind
In this modern world we should just be kind
And peace you’ll find
2.
You reap what you sow, so be kind to others
Walk in love, sisters and brothers
Lift someone up then you’ll be flying high
Kindness is free, so keep on giving
Here’s my smile, life is for living
We’re all unique, celebrate life c’mon shine your light
Chorus
Honestly, kindness is such an important thing
If you get it right it will make your heart sing
Honestly, kindness will bring you peace of mind
In this modern world we should just be kind
And peace you’ll find
Bridge
You need to know, you reap what you sow
You get what you give, it’s our time to live
I’ll give you respect, you give me yours
Respect will include everyone in our neighbourhood
Chorus
Honesty… Kindness… Respect… Inclusion
