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 [bad word] to you 
When you get all you want, 
But there’s a space inside 
That’s just as empty as it was 
’Til an [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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, [bad word] 
 
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 
 [bad word] to the end
