"Gift" lyrics

"Gift"

I wake up in a beautiful apartment
I got my dog at the foot of my bed
I got no enemies, ain't got no target
This is the fruit of life, the reason to be
And I'm waiting to see how my book is read

Turn the page and...

I take a sip of the breeze through the screen door
Cigarette smoke, artwork in the air
If you take a moment, just look, it will mean more
This is the fruit of life, the reason to be
And I'm waiting to see if you even care

Cause you know that you...

You are a gift to the planet
How will you live if you don't even understand it
You are a gift to the world
Be thankful, what you have is just enough
You are a gift to the planet
How will you live if you don't even understand it
You are a gift to the world
Be thankful for what you have and rise above

I wake up in a beautiful apartment
I got my dog at the foot of my bed
I got no enemies, ain't got no target
This is the fruit of life, the reason to be
And I'm waiting to see how my book is read

You are a gift to the planet
How will you live if you don't even understand it
You are a gift to the world
Be thankful, what you have is just enough
You are a gift to the planet
How will you live if you don't even understand it
You are a gift to the world
Be thankful for what you have and rise above
