"God Given Gift" lyrics
(from "Stiletto" soundtrack)
Like a bird in a cage that sings
With two broken wings, how I cry
God has given me this gift
And forbidden me to fly
From my perch, I can see
There's a heavenly sky that is waiting for me
In my heart, I believe
I've a God-given gift, but I can't be naive
I've a God-given gift locked away
That the whole world can't hear
Like a seed in a summer rain
In an open plain will grow
But will that flower thrive and bloom
If the winds just a-howl and blow?
Here I am, feeling small
Asking God, does He care? Does He see me at all?
Who am I with this fire?
I'm a flame that's forbidden to burn bright and higher
I've a God-given gift filled with doubt, without trust
I've a God-given gift, and I swear I will burst
Like a joke that's oddly perverse
Is my voice a blessing or curse?
Who am I?
You and I, we are worlds apart
You have soul and heart, so do I
But you are free to fly, you see
While I barely just get by
I must be twice as strong
So I just don't give in and just don't go along
Here I am, who am I?
Just a girl who is longing to sing and to fly
I've a God-given gift that I don't wish to waste
I've a God-given gift that cannot be replaced
I've a God-given gift that will not let me just disappear
With two broken wings, how I cry
God has given me this gift
And forbidden me to fly
From my perch, I can see
There's a heavenly sky that is waiting for me
In my heart, I believe
I've a God-given gift, but I can't be naive
I've a God-given gift locked away
That the whole world can't hear
Like a seed in a summer rain
In an open plain will grow
But will that flower thrive and bloom
If the winds just a-howl and blow?
Here I am, feeling small
Asking God, does He care? Does He see me at all?
Who am I with this fire?
I'm a flame that's forbidden to burn bright and higher
I've a God-given gift filled with doubt, without trust
I've a God-given gift, and I swear I will burst
Like a joke that's oddly perverse
Is my voice a blessing or curse?
Who am I?
You and I, we are worlds apart
You have soul and heart, so do I
But you are free to fly, you see
While I barely just get by
I must be twice as strong
So I just don't give in and just don't go along
Here I am, who am I?
Just a girl who is longing to sing and to fly
I've a God-given gift that I don't wish to waste
I've a God-given gift that cannot be replaced
I've a God-given gift that will not let me just disappear
