Gift That Shines

Reaching for the stars

I can't steal them they're not ours

Sits right in your hand and shines

You say reach for these

It's not easy on my knees

The way you offer me to climb

I've been entertaining yesterday

Past and present they're all mine

I don't need a gift from yesterday

I don't need a gift that shines

Kiss the book and say

You can have them if you pay but

What you hold today looks bright

Reaching for the sky won't bring them nearer if you try

Shining up above

Now I kiss the book and say

You'll touch the stars one day

It's a big tall wish to fly

It's a big tall wish to fly

I've been entertaining yesterday

Past and present they're all mine

I don't need a gift from yesterday

I don't need a gift that shines

I don't need a gift that shines
