"The Gift" lyrics

"The Gift"

This is the room, after the show
The stage has been disassembled now
Taken down
Instruments packed
The stage lights are cut
The beer you just spilled on the floor has dried out
We're not far
Imagine that empty room
How calm it is, after the storm
When the world is new

It is given
The here and now is a gift
You may take it or leave it
But I give it to you, nonetheless
It is given
