The Gift I can't say I ever met you But it seems I know you well A child of God, you walked among us You left this world with no farewell Even in your darkest hours You found a way to shine your light When you drew your final breath You started helping me find mine You gave, and now This troubled soul can rest I live, somehow And I won't soon forget That I got a second chance To try and be a better man 'Cause you gave me the gift I drop a pebble down a wishing well Circles ripple to the walls Reaching out to touch my brothers Knowing someday I may fall When I stumbled you raised the bucket No need for me to make a wish You were always there beside me Just in time you gave the gift You gave, and now This troubled soul can rest I live, somehow And I won't soon forget That I got a second chance To try to be a better man... You're with me every step I take As I travel life's highway What you gave means more to me Than words can ever say You gave, and now This troubled soul can rest I live, somehow And I won't soon forget When I got a second chance To try and be a better man 'Cause you gave me... the gift
