The Gift

You can trip smug smiling in your worn-out shoes

Cast away the rhythm of eternity's fugue

Grapple with the tongue of hope till it abandons you

But you can't deny a gift

Falter at the well, making heroes out of ghosts

Stuffing yourself on thankless boasts

But I have faith in your withering soul

'Cause you can't deny a gift

Oh, no, you can't deny a gift

A gift of one and a gift to all

The wings to soar and not to fall

A gift of light in the abyss

Higher ground above the pit

The choice to live that is a gift

That is a gift, that is a gift, that is a gift

Though this gift lacks frivolous flair

It doesn't sparkle in the sun and requires little care

It's one of volume enough to spare

Throw down defense and we will share

Throw down defense and we will share

A gift of one and a gift to all

The wings to soar and not to fall

A gift of light in the abyss

Higher ground above the pit

The choice to live that is a gift

That is a gift, that is a gift, that is a gift

A gift of one and a gift to all

The wings to soar and not to fall

A gift of light in the abyss

Higher ground above the pit

The choice to live that is a gift

That is a gift, that is a gift, that is a gift

That is a gift, that is a gift, that is a gift
