BLUE “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 yourself,
You’re chasing cool desire,
You get addicted fast,
But, man, you’re playin’ with fire
Then there’s a day that comes to you
When you get all you want,
But there’s a space inside
That’s just as empty as it was
’Til an angel comes your way
And, man, she’s falling fast,
You know she’s so in need
But she is too 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 breathe
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 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 known before,
How much she would 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 prayers now,
You can grant your own wish
Bridge, chorus
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 anywhere you go
Will lead you home
Will lead you home
Chorus to the end
