Easier Man - Dan Sultan

It’s easier to give a gift of gold

Than to give my heart for another to hold

It’s easier

It’s easier to give you the things I do

Than to open my life and let you walk through

It’s easier

Do I hide behind my offerings

While you’re hoping for the heart of me?

Am I the only gift

That you long for me to give?

The weary wisdom of broken men

Says it’s only the fool who rushes in

Only the fool

So it’s easier to give you only a part

Than risk giving away my whole heart

It’s easier, yeah, easier

Overcome by innocence

My wisdom becomes foolishness

Before the tiny babe

Born to give himself away

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming!

With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand

Fall on your knees

Fall on your knees

The conqueror comes in peace

Only a child could heal the wound

Of the fear that keeps me away from you

Only a child, only a child

He was only a child, only a child
