Given - The Real Group

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
