The Gift Songtext
von Natalie Cole

Written by mark davis & marti sharron
Every captain must steer the wheel, not by choice but from the voice
That′s in his ear, I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I′ve survived through my lies, I'm still here, so all you people Know what I say is true, that I'm here because of you, I have lived on
Yes I′ve made it through, you′ve returned your love to me
Well I felt fire and I got tired of running from the truth


And I let people down, and I wore a crown of being the biggest fool
So all you people know what I say is true, that I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes I′ve made it through, you've returned your love to me
There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me, look what you′ve done now
I've become the best, oh, I′m the best I can be, oh, oh, oh
You've returned your love, the gift of love, yes, you gave this gift to me
