The Gift of Life

Lyrics

We were young, we were restless We were reachin' for the stars We had passion and we burned down the night Just a high school prince and princess We built castles in the sky When you're so much in love, there is no wrong or right We weren't ready for a child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselvеs But it still hurts inside I hope you're still up in hеaven 'Cause I need you now I hope you're still a little angel And can hear my prayers somehow Someday when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now You'd be 16 now and countin' You'd have lovers of your own And I'd be stayin' up just for you to come home When the gift of life is taken Can it ever be returned? Or are you waitin' in the wings of my soul? Oh, we weren't ready for a child in our lives We weren't ready then We were children ourselves But I know our choice was right I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now I hope you're still a little angel And can hear my prayers somehow Someday when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now You've gotta make your choices It's gotta be your choice It's our God-given right (It's the gift of life) It's the gift of life to make your choices Some of them will hurt But you know what's right inside That's the gift of life Well, now I'm ready I need someone to hold My hands are empty And I'm reachin' for you When I'm all alone I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now I hope you're still a little angel And can hear my prayers somehow Someday when I'm older There will be no doubts I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now I hope you're still up in heaven 'Cause I need you now The gift of life is precious I wanna give it back somehow You've gotta make your choices It's gotta be your choice It's our God-given right It's the gift of life to make your choices Some of them will hurt But you know what's right inside That's the gift of life The gift of life (Sing it loud) The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life The gift of life (No, no, no) (Say no, no, no, no) The gift of life The gift of life (Everybody sing now) The gift of life The gift of life (God-given, God-given, God-given gift of life) The gift of life The gift of life It's the gift of life
