The Last Gift

[Verse] Eldest child stood tall With the last gift he'd hold Others took two or more He held warm sun gold [Verse 2] Others danced in their pride Glowing with gifts untold He clutched the solitary light In hands growing cold [Chorus] He had the sun Brightly burning alone With the last gift His heart turned to stone [Verse 3] In shadows he wandered With just one light in hand Whispers grew bolder His spirit turned to sand [Bridge] Strings play out a sad tune His lone heart breaks in two Violin sings his pain Cello deepens the blue [Verse 4] Wind carried the echoes Of laughter from afar He stood silent and still Beneath an empty star
