The Mystery of Your Gift

A single note passes out of the ashes,

A flickering ember begins.

It's the courage to turn

When the pages have burned

And your story seems at an end

Seasons stay and seasons go

Sending your memories adrift

It's the beautiful longing,

Embrace the unknown;

That's the mystery of your gift.

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me,

Before you can fly, you must fall

It's the beautiful longing,

Embrace the unknown;

That's the mystery of your gift.

There's a voice in the shadow calling for more

There's a rhythm that beats from within

Lending your voice to the warmth of your song

There's a strength in the choir of one

Pure as the voice that sees the place

Where the weight of your past may now lift

It's the beautiful longing,

Embrace the unknown;

That's the mystery of your gift.

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me,

Before you can fly, you must fall

So sing higher and higher,

A thousand new voices ring through.

If you sing out of the fire,

The courage you need comes from you.

And the echoes of your melody

Will always live in these walls

And the lessons that you gave to me,

Before you can fly, you must fall

It's the beautiful longing,

Embrace the unknown;

That's the mystery of your gift.

It's the beautiful longing,

Embrace the unknown;

That's the mystery of your gift.
