The Gift Lyrics

From city streets you came with something trueFrom dirt and smoke you breathed in something newAnd when you laid all before youThey took what you madeAnd threw it awayThe gift that you gaveWith hands of gold and images strongYou cast the shape of things to cling onAnd when you tried to show themThey took what you madeAnd gave it awayThe gift that you gaveAnd in return I give you honest loveThese things I see around meI see with my soulI feel in my heartThe gift that you gaveAnd in return I give you my respectThat´s all that´s mine for givingI´ve learned from it allThe textures and formThe gift that you gaveAnd when they ask what prize I treasure mostWhat legacy I cherishI say from the heartThe passion and artThat´s the gift that you gave
