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 own for yourself, you're chasing cool disire
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 that's just as empty as it was
'Till an angel comes your way
and man she's falling 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 leamin' 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
The gift........The gift.......
Man, it's funny how she smiles,
how grateful she is now
And how 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 know before,
how much she would change my life
I'd sure go back in time
and try to tell that guy.........hey man
you can do better than this,
you can answer your prayers
You can grant your own wish
Just hold on 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 leamin' 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 home
And the gift is what you get
by givin' more than you receive
And you're leamin' 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
The precious........The precious......
And the gift is what you get
by givin' more than you receive
