Gift

I wanted to run
I wanted to hide
I wanted to lay right down
Right here by your side

I wanted to lose
I wanted to win
I wanted to stand up tall
But then again, I would cringe

It?s the same old story
You?re here right now
You?re here right now
Yes, in all your glory
You?re here right now
Right now

And what I wouldn?t give to give in to you
This life I?m livin? too
And this gift I?ve been given
This song upon my lips,
Well, my love,
I would give it back to you

You?ve given me love
You?ve given me faith
Though I?ve never seen a mountain shaken
From its foundation

And I?d rather fall
Into your arms
Than spend my days standing
Waiting at my station

My own two feet have never taken me
To the places you have seen
I?d be a fool to let it pass me by
To spoil this waking dream and

It?s the same old story
You?re here right now?

?and this gift I?ve been given
I?d gladly give it back to you
