The Gift

Lyrics

[Chorus 1: Reva Devito] This is a gift she said Don't you go and lose your head That's why they call it the present This is a mighty task Don't look forward don't look back That's why they call it the heavens [Verse 1: Onry Ozzborn] You ever wake up right next to that one And realize the wrong side of the bed is nothing more but a distant memory simply shunned You stare for a minute in disbelief Like why me (but why not you), yeah lucky me Proceed to stretch and have a gander out the window it's grey out Not unusual typical Seattle when grays out Sunshine will peek in here and there Poking holes in the overcast I guess it's just a symptom of the atmosphere But that's what brought us here and that's what brought you near And that's what's gonna continue to open up your ears Those early birds that keep singing to you in morning time Are not an accident perhaps motivation to get your grind On and on off the ground out that bed to the sky Take the future and hold it up high like you alive Humble but full of pride confident I will lie Just keep your eyes on the prize and the rest will subside We just want you to know that you are worth a perfect and deserve everything on this earth so don't be nervous It is our service as your neighbors to lend you sugar or watch over your house when you out at town to purchase Everything with that crest on it because it's full of that knowledge and perspective that you seekin' ain't it Therefore be gracious and we're anxious to have a relationship with you making you want to bustle sacred [Chorus 1: Reva Devito] This is a gift she said Don't you go and lose your head That's why they call it the present This is a mighty task Don't look forward don't look back That's why they call it the heavens [Verse 2: JFK Ninjaface] Beautiful isn't she lovely and thoughtful Virtuous mother earth flowers and potholes I was a snot nose so very obnoxious The oldest of three boys living room most pit And dealing with the stress with no off switch Mommy had it bad enough with that too and pop split They were heartless opposite of partridge fam See that's some farfetched malarkey you're not too bed apartment (Damn) What a life of hardship Plans to raise a boy to a man but he's busy seeking starships And he's asking for when land meet the Martians See momma never thought she'd see the day we'd depart from Home, where the ocean meets the sand covering starfish Furthest from the artic there were ants in the tar pits If only magic carpets exist I'd give my heart to give her this and she can fly upon a wish [Chorus 1: Reva Devito] This is a gift she said Don't you go and lose your head That's why they call it the present This is a mighty task Don't look forward don't look back That's why they call it the heavens
