Red and blue flashing lights Black and blue from the fight What is lost What is won What's done is done In the web of modern life Into the walls with no foresight I will run always run In search of the sun You gave the gift to me You gave the gift But never kept enough for yourself And you passed it down You gave the gift to me You gave the gift But never kept enough for yourself It's everywhere I turn Everywhere I go Everywhere I look away It's not how you trip It's how you steer your ship With a gentle hand Is how you land It's a blessing and a curse For the better and the worse At least that's what I tell The son before he sleeps
