Lyrics

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.
