The Gift of Music
-----by John Rutter
if you could have any gift
any treasure
taste any pleasure
then what would it be?
search the wide world high and low for the answer
over the mountains and down to the sea
would you wish for youth and beauty
or wealth to make a show?
or power and position and strength?
oh no
for your youth it will vanish
and beauty will fade
and your wealth and position are all just a passing parade
may your soul have the gift of music
may your heart be inspired with song
may the echoes remain in your memory
like a friendship that lasts your whole life long
when your joy is the joy of music
all the magical sounds you hear
everyday that you spend with music
is the best day
the best new day of the year
may your soul have the gift of music
may your heart be inspired with song
may the echoes remain in your memory
like a friendship that lasts your whole life long
when your joy is the joy of music
all the magical sounds you hear
everyday that you spend with music
is the best day
the best new day of the year
the gift of music
touching and lovely
the power of MUSIC
