A: It's when you want to gain someone's favor by being really nice or through flattery (for example, in this case your boss, you laugh at his jokes too hard even if its corny, you always bring him coffee, you treat him to dinner etc.)
Sometimes it could also mean working extra hard, like staying late at work even if you don't have to, but really you just want to show off to your boss/gain his/her favor

A: You've done favors for others in the past but all have been " returned". You don't have anyone who owes you a favor you can call to help you.

A: @prominencial can you do something for me

A: in that example it would mean that it doesn't help th business and isn't beneficial (of help)

A: I'm about 90% certain of these lyrics' accuracy. I mainly had trouble with the line "Lay our head downs and we know" because the proper plural would be "Lay our heads down", but I can't think of what else he could be saying. I'm also a little uncertain if he says "disintegrated" but it's my best guess. Everything else should be accurate.

Is it too much to ask?
For a little peace?
A little freedom
Just for you and me
One Nation Under God
Is where we used to be
In perfect harmony

What happened to the peace we once shared?
When nobody had us scared

Lay our head downs and we know
We live in a peaceful world

What happened to equality?
Life, Liberty, and Peace
Woah-oh-oh
Living in a joyful world
Enjoying friends and family

What happened to the peace we once shared?
When nobody had us scared

Lay our head downs and we know
We live in a peaceful world
A peaceful world
A peaceful wo-o-rld
A peaceful world

A little peace
Is that too much to ask
Brothers and sisters united as one
Under the big yellow sun
Together We Stand
United We Fall
So let's stand together
No more wars, no more killing
No more hate, no more cheating
Oh-oh-oh-oh

I dream of a peaceful world
I dream of a peaceful world
Is that too much to ask?
To know we live in a peaceful world

So let's say
What happened to the hate?
Once was there
But now disintegrated
So, we lay our head downs and we know
We live in a peaceful world

Lilybet123’s answer is the best.

A: "this day out" means in this context something like, "一日中には一緒に出かけて遊んでいること" What the person is trying to express is most likely that they are paying for going out and spending the day doing fun things to express gratitude for something the other person did for them or gave to them. The "consider this... a present" is because the speaker most likely wanted to do it anyway, but they want to frame it as returning a favor.
