Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's funny how it starts
Just how it all begins
You get your sights on dreams
And man, a thousand different things
[Verse 2]
You are on for yourself
You're chasing cool desire
You get addicted fast
But man, you're playing with the fire
[Verse 3]
Then there's a day that comes to you
When you get all you want
But there's a space inside
That's just as empty as it was
[Verse 4]
Till and angel comes your way
And man, she's fallin' fast
You know she's so in need
But she is too afraid to ask
[Verse 5]
So you hold out your hands
And catch her best you can
And in givin' love, you feel a better man
[Verse 6]
And the gift is what you get
By givin' more than you receive
And you're learning' fast that maybe
This is how you'll be happy
'Cause in takin' everything you lost
The air you need to breathe
But in givin' it away
You found the precious thing you seek
[Verse 7]
Ooh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
It's funny how she smiles
How grateful she is now
And that my touches me
Deep in my heart somehow
[Verse 9]
Yet the mirror laughs at me
When I forget myself
When I complain about
This hand that I got dealt
[Verse 10]
If I had known before
How much she changed my life
I'd sure go back in time
And tell that guy
[Verse 11]
Hey, man
You can do better than this
You can answer your prayers now
You can grant your own wish
[Verse 12]
Just hold out your hands
And give the most you can
And I swear to you
You'll feel a better man
[Verse 13]
And the gift is what you get
By givin' more than you receive
And you're learning' fast that maybe
This is how you'll be happy
'Cause in takin' everything you lost
The air you need to breathe
But in givin' it away
You found the precious thing you seek
[Verse 14]
And it's better, by far
To do what you do now
And leave the rest to love
Just be strong in who you are
[Verse 15]
Once you start on that road
You're safe in the knowledge
That anyway you go
Lead you home
Lead you home
[Verse 16]
And the gift is what you get
By givin' more than you receive
And you're learning' fast that maybe
This is how you'll be happy
'Cause in takin' everything you lost
The air you need to breathe
But in givin' it away
You found the precious thing you seek
[Verse 17]
So precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, yeah
So precious, precious, precious, precious, uh-huh
You are so precious, precious, precious, precious, oh, yeah
So precious, precious, precious, precious, uh-huh
[Verse 18]
And the gift is what you get
By givin' more than you receive
And you're learning' fast that maybe
This is how you'll be happy
'Cause in takin' everything you lost
The air you need to breathe
But in givin' it away
You found the precious thing you seek
