Gift

Red and blue flashing lights

Black and blue from the fight

What is lost

What is won

What's done is done

In the web of modern life

Into the walls with no foresight

I will run always run

In search of the sun

You gave the gift to me

You gave the gift

But never kept enough for yourself

And you passed it down

You gave the gift to me

You gave the gift

But never kept enough for yourself

It's everywhere I turn

Everywhere I go

Everywhere I look away

It's not how you trip

It's how you steer your ship

With a gentle hand

Is how you land

It's a blessing and a curse

For the better and the worse

At least that's what I tell

The son before he sleeps
