The Gift

It's funny how it starts just how it all begins

You get your sights on dreams

and man a thousand different things

You are on for yourselfyou're chasing cool desire

You get addicted fast

but man you're playin' with the fire

Then there's a day that comes to you

When you get all you want

but there's a space inside just still as empty as it was

'Till an angel comes your way and man she's fallin fast

You know she's so in need but she is to afraid to ask

So you hold out your hands and catch her best you can

And in givin' love you feel a better man

And the gift is what you get

by givin' more than you receive

And you're learnin' fast

that maybe this is how you'll be happy

'Cause in takin' everything you lost

the air you need to breath

But in givin' it away

you found the precious thing you seek

It's funny how she smiles how grateful she is now

And that might touches me deep in my heart somehow

Yet the mirror laughs at me when I forget myself

When I complain about this hand that I got dealt

And if I had know before

how much she change my life

I'd sure go back in time

and tell that guy hey man

You can do better than this

you can answer your prays

You can grant your own wish

Just hold out your hands and give the most you can

And I swear to you you'll feel a better man

And the gift is what you get

by givin' more than you receive

And you're learnin' fast

that maybe this is how you'll be happy

'Cause in takin' everything you lost

the air you need to breath

But in givin' it away

you found the precious thing you seek

And it's better by far to do what you do now

And leave the rest to love

Just be strong in who you are

Once you start on that road

You're safe in the knowledge

That anyway you go

Will lead you homeLead you home

And the gift is what you get

by givin' more than you receive

And you're learnin' fast

that maybe this is how you'll be happy

'Cause in takin' everything you lost

the air you need to breath

But in givin' it away

you found the precious thing you seek

So precious precious precious4x

And the gift is what you get

by givin' more than you receive

And you're learnin' fast

that maybe this is how you'll be happy

'Cause in takin' everything you lost

the air you need to breath

But in givin' it away

you found the precious thing you seek
