The Gift

I used to hide but I'm tired of hiding I used to cry but I'm tired of crying I used to lie but I'm tired of lying I used to deny but no more denying My spirit was dead but now it's alive I had death in my head but now I'll survive My soul was dead but now I'll contrive I was perishing but now I know I'll thrive I never thought you would want to be mine Now she's in love with me and I'm fine Oh you, you showed me the way to go You taught me what I need to know I owe you everything that I can give You gave me the will - the will to live When the sun set or the moon appeared I would shed a lonely tear But now I'm no longer scared I know you'll show me you care I never thought you would want to be mine Now she's in love with me and I'm fine Oh you, you showed me the way to go You taught me what I need to know I owe you everything that I can give You gave me the will - the will to live Oh you, you showed me the way to go You taught me what I need to know I owe you everything that I can give You gave me the will - the will to live
