I stop and listen
what do I hear
the sounds of life
a flower as it bursts
out of the ground

A baby bird as it bursts
from its shell
A tree as its leaves
come forth from its limbs

But why don't I hear you
when you open your heart
and give me your love
without cost or repayment
just deep in your soul

freely given
freely given

How do I return what is given
I burst with the hurt
that I cannot return
that which is given
full strength in return

All I can give is
already written
but it comes from within
deep down where it's hidden

I love you
I love you

With all that I have
