The Gift of Life (To The One Who Knows) Yanni & Leslie Mills
The Gift Of Life (To The One Who Knows)
Music by Yanni, Lyrics by Leslie Mills
maybe there’s a journey that i’ll take
through a storm
until i’m home
where i will paint a portrait of the sun
made of gold and warmth and love
until the day you are born
when all of the rain stops her crying
yesterday sails from the shore
and my heart is open again
for you
light
the world
tonight
to the one who knows
the gift of life
i wonder of the prophets and the saints
the messengers
the winds of fate
will carry you much farther than you see
a part of you
is all of me
and on the day you set out
i hope you find what you need
a part of you is
all of me
to watch you grow as you learn
to witness you become a man
follow your own way
to love
for you
light
the world
tonight
to the one who knows
the gift of life
maybe there’s a journey that is mine
without words
and without time
