Lyrics

Gift of Life

So sad, when I heard the news
Something is hurting you
Though I can't feel your pain
We're all here for you

Chorus:
Somewhere the light is breaking through
And the light it shines on you

After all the love we shared
All the love comes back to you
After all the life you give
A gift of life comes through for you

Listen to the pouring rain
Soon the storm will end
In the garden
The birds will sing
A thousand songs for you

Chorus:
Somewhere the light is breaking through
And the light it shines on you

After all the love we shared
All the love comes back to you
After all the life you give
A gift of life comes through for you
