You Get What You Give- New Radicals
The song "You Get What You Give" is pretty self-explanatory, just by the title. It explains the whole idea that life has a way of balancing out. Karma is a way many people explain this phenomenon. It teaches you to "treat others how you would like to be treated," which is the common disciplinary phrase used in elementary schools. It shows how much one small action can effect a chain reaction of events, or influence somebody, even if you are not aware. Small actions can have a big impact.
