This Gift Lyrics
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is waiting to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
This gift will fall right in your hand
Just try to understand...
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
And you...
You'll be no harbor to the sorrow
Just let it go.
Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Just you believe it now
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
These things just fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up (x2)
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is waiting to be found
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
This gift will fall right in your hand
Just try to understand...
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
And you...
Just let it go.
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Just you believe it now
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
These things just fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up (x2)

What I think this song means to me as the songs name is The Gift I take it as the Gift of being able to open up your Heart to many things Faith, Hope, Love, Etc every emotion possible that you're able to feel that let's you know your a human being not only emotions but also situations even if you like them or not just being able to say to yourself I went thru that and I'm still here standing without any negativity towards the world hence The Gift that you have in believing in something beyond yourself. Hope you guys understood what i was trying to say cause I doubt this could b considered to be a song about lovers it's more about ones inner self. Such a great song

It's hope.
This song hopes.
Such a beautiful song. It's talking about the sort of thing that often happens in life where something comes into your life unexpectedly and changes everything. It's saying that you need to keep your faith and open yourself up in order to receive those gifts from life.
i feel really calm when i listen to this song it's just so right ...
You describe it just right. I just found this song on the dvd for the Disney movie "Odd Life of Timothy Green" and just can't stop listening to it over and over. I played a factory worker in the movie and this song speaks to me about not giving up on acting even though it's a hard business. I do so love this song.

When I first heard this song I was going through a divorce. My ex was a cheating narcissist. Didn't miss him at all. But having my kids half the week leave me was devastating. I went into a dark dark place. Even quit listening to music. But before that And after it was a song of hope. That you just gotta hold on. Especially the line about sorrow. Just let it go. I kind of thought of God as My gift then and My faith. Then I met my future husband and he was everything I prayed to God I needed. He played the song for me on the jukebox on our first date. The song eventually reminded me of him too. Some things are made of better stuff. WS gonna read the song lyrics to him at our wedding but minister forgot. It will always hold a special place in my heart. It is a song that has moved me so much and helped me through the hardest time of my life.
