A Gift

Now it's my turn

To look through the light of a trillion stars

And wonder why they shine so far to see

And it's my turn

To figure it out with each step I take

I'll pave a path with rules I break and learn

And learn

That it's all just a gift

It's a chance to look around, listen to the wind

And as the leaves fall to the ground

I'll hear the sound of a lovebird's call

If I'm lucky I'll find someone to adore me

And start a family

And show them how to love

Now it's my turn

To sleep under the slumber of the sandman's sand

And read of a life like Peter Pan, and dream

And dream

That it's all just a gift

It's a chance to look around, listen to the wind

As the leaves fall to the ground

I hear the sound of a lovebird's call

If I'm lucky I'll find someone to adore me

And start a family

And show them how to love

I'll teach them that it's all ok

To go ahead and make mistakes

'Cause this world runs on give and take

So don't be afraid to let your heart break

'Cause it's all just a gift

It's a chance to look around, listen to the wind

And as the leaves fall to the ground

I'll hear the sound of a lovebird's call

If I'm lucky I'll find someone to adore me

And start a family

And show them how to love
