Oh, we give and give and give
To try to share our hearts and souls;
Always reaching higher and higher
To reach that ultimate goal.


And sometimes we steal from heaven
To try to capture a little of the beauty there;
To bring it back to the place we live,
Trying to hold a piece of the glory
While we are living here.
And there is such good we've experienced Behind heavens doors,
We search to find it in our life
But feel an emptiness inside.
There is that place in our heart
That was once torn apart
And needs to be restored;
And we try to always hide
How that heart needs so much love to survive.

And yet we can't believe
That we are good enough to receive
The love we really need,
That will bring us to be healed.

All this giving
Is just a part of the process
Of the love that it seems we can't receive.
If we go running after the promise
We gave to God so long ago,

Can we get back to that place
We started from
And once again be made whole

It's so hard to manage
it gets to the point one day '
Til you just stop and have to decide
To be present with yourself,
And what's there inside your heart and mind.

It all comes down to acceptance
Of yourself and others you find,
It’s just a point to get to

With true honesty inside;
Something that is there and you know it
And yet it’s so hard to define.
The greatest gift you can get
Is just being able to be yourself you see,
For who is it that is giving
In what is it that you need to be.
Accept God's unconditional love inside you,
​That is the greatest gift you can receive.
