The Gift Lyrics
These shoes have walked some strange streets
Stranger still to come --
Sometimes the prayers of strangers
Are all that keeps them from
Trying to stay static
Something even death can't do
Everything
is motion --
To the motion be true
In this cold commodity
culture
Where you lay your money down
It's hard to even notice
That all this earth is hallowed ground --
Harder still to feel it
Basic as a breath --
Love is stronger than darkness
Love is
stronger than death
The gift
Keeps moving --
Never
know
Where it's going to land.
You must stand
Back and let
it
Keep on changing hands
Hackles rise in anger
Heat
waves rise in sex
The gift moves on regardless
Tying this world to
the next
May you never tire of waiting
Never feel that life is
cheap
May your life be filled with light
Except for when you're
trying to sleep
The gift
Keeps moving --
Never
know
Where it's going to land
You must stand
Back and let
it
Keep on changing hands
