Gifted One

(album: Someday We'll All Be Free - 1985)

Love (oohh)
Love, love, love
Love

Gifted one, surely your days will come
Just hang on steady, you come too far, you come too far to run
Oh gifted one, don't let them bring you down
Stand the test of time, come rain, then sunshine

Keep a strong constitution, show the world your contribution
When it comes down to choosing, think winning and not losing

Oh gifted one, you never, never, never grow too old
To unfold your dream and reaching for your goal
Oh gifted one, it's all about what you make it
All your qualifications to well master the situation

Keep a strong constitution, show the world your contribution
When it comes down to choosing, think winning and not losing

Oh gifted one, anything under the sun
You're gon' to give life, give life, give life, to your impossible dreams

You wanna fly higher
You gotta spread your wings
You see, everybody's got a gift, oh
Down to the smallest things
And it's all that I'm using
To get them by a better brain
Oh, them by the better brains, oh

Gifted one
I sing this song for you
You came a long way
But there's still much more, much more to do

Gifted one
Oh, another day, another day will come
Hang on steady
Oh boy, you come too far to run

Keep a strong constitution, show the world your contribution
When it comes down to choosing, think winning and not losing

Gifted one
Surely your days will come
You only give life (you give life)
You give life to impossible dreams

Sometimes you wanna fly higher (higher)
So you got to spread your wings, you see, ah
You see, everybody's got a gift, oh
Down to the smallest thing
And it's all, it's all that I've been using
To get them by a better brain
Them by the better brains

Oh, gifted one
You've been too far though
But all the night I feel like coming on strong
'Cause I'm that gifted one (gifted one)

Don't never, never count me out
All 'em, erase all impossibilities in your mind, if you think you get some doubt
Hmm, hmm (ooh, ooh, yessir)

Lalalala, la la la (ah, aaah, oh)
Hmm, hmmm
Hmm, hmmm (ooh)
Oh, yeah
