The Gift Lyrics - Singles - Midge Ure

From city streets you came with something true 

From dirt and smoke you breathed in something new 

And when you laid all before you, they took what you made 

And threw it away, the gift that you gave 

With hands of gold and images strong 

You cast the shape of things to cling on 

And when you tried to show them, they took what you made 

And gave it away, the gift that you gave 

And in return, I give you honest love 

These things I see around me 

I see with my soul, I feel in my heart 

The gift that you gave and in return I give you my respect

That's all that's mine for giving, I've learned from it all 

The textures and form, the gift that you gave 

And when they ask what prize I treasure most 

What legacy I cherish, I say from the heart 

The passion and art, that's the gift that you gave
