Lyrics
Ask What You?ve Given:
Ask what you?ve given, when you don?t get what you want.
If you don?t get what you want, ask what you?ve given.
I saw your face again at the bottom of a dream
crying for a change,
You say that you?re hurt, by the things - I don?t do.
But what bothers me, is that it ? it just might be true.
I?ve spent love before ?but it never was like this,
I was always expecting more.
Ask what you?ve given, when you don?t get what you want.
If you don?t get what you want, ask what you?ve given.
If my prayers are heard tonight, I?d be right where I am,
to finally understand, . . .
I?ve tried and I?ve tried, when there was - no effort needed.
And I wish you were wrong, thinking - you?ve been mistreated.
?Cause you are my journey ? like you?ve always been my goal.
Everything - leads me home.
[Humming/harp lead bridge]
If my prayers are heard tonight, I?d be right where I am,
to finally understand, . . .
Asks what you?ve given.
Ask What You?ve Given.
