Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 playing with the fire
[Verse 2]
Then there's a day that comes to you when you get all you want
But there's a space inside
That's just as empty as it was
Till an angel comes your way and, man, she's falling fast
You know she's so in need
But she is too afraid to ask
[PreChorus]
So you hold out your hands and catch her best you can
And in giving love, you feel a better man
[Chorus]
And the gift is what you get by giving more than you receive
And you're learning fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy
'Cause in taking everything, you lost the air you need to breathe
But in giving it away, you found the precious thing you seek
[Bridge]
Ooh, oh, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh, ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
It's funny how she smiles, how grateful she is now
And that my touch is me
Deep in my heart somehow
Yet the mirror laughs at me when I forget myself
When I complain about this hand that I got dealt
[Verse 4]
If I had known before how much she'd change my life
I'd sure go back in time
And tell that guy
Hey, man, you can do better than this
Ooh, you can answer your prayers
Now you can grant your own wish, yeah-yeah
[PreChorus]
Just hold out your hands and give the most you can
And I swear to you, you'll feel a better man, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
And the gift is what you get by giving more than you receive
And you're learning fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy
'Cause in taking everything, you lost the air you need to breathe
But in giving it away, you found the precious thing you seek
[Bridge]
Ooh-oh, 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
Ooh, once you start on that road, you're safe in the knowledge
That anywhere you go leads you home
Leads you home
[Chorus]
And the gift is what you get by giving more than you receive
And you're learning fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy
'Cause in taking everything, you lost the air you need to breathe
But in giving it away, you found the precious thing you seek
[Bridge]
So precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, yeah
So precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, oh
You are so precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, yeah
So precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, yeah
[Chorus]
And the gift is what you get by giving more than you receive
And you're learning fast that maybe this is how you'll be happy
'Cause in taking everything, you lost the air you need to breathe
But in giving it away, you found the precious thing you seek
