Without words a truth is known
The ache within each one must own
I wash the day off from my hands
Eyes that smile and understand
I stumble home alone from what could be
Treasure lost or promised to the sea
You are a gift you are a gift
You are a gift to me
You are a gift to me
Seasons come and seasons go
Storms may surge and levees bow
So batten down and hold on tight
And pray we make it through the night
Mere thoughts will shape tomorrow's shame
The sun will rise but not the same
On shining sands of yesterday
Now barren rocks exposed and grey
I stumble home alone from what could be
Treasure lost or promised to the sea
You are a gift you are a gift
You are a gift to me
You are a gift to me
People come and people go
Hearts may surge convictions bow
So batten down and hold on tight
And pray we make it through the fight
Throw a lifeline say goodnight
Throw a lifeline say goodnight
