Given

It's not given because you deserve it it's given by grace It's not given because you deserve it it's given by grace I can't believe how close it was as close as it gets New days promise newer wonders like a laugh a smile a frown Then comes a day like any other when the world comes crashing down I saw you go how could I know if this would be the last time that we'd ever be together you and me It's not given because we deserve it it's given by grace It's not given because we deserve it it's given by grace Though all too brief the hours we'd shared had redrawn my life In this high stakes world of give and take couldn't you be left alone to learn from life's many small mistakes to discover on your own I couldn't bear just standing there You were drifting out of reach Then your eyes opened up to mine a blessing and a sign Not given because I deserved it but given by grace Chance or design what's the reason I wouldn't know where to begin Faith is a small consolation I look for a light from within It's not given because you deserve it it's given by grace It's engraved in my heart by the wonder I see in your face It's not given because you deserve it
