Lyrics
Given the Gift of Music - © words & music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL)

V1:
Some people are born with it, while others may get bored with it.
To some it seems to come so naturally.
I don't know if I learned it, or maybe I have earned it.
I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
V2:
Music is a dream, that certain people have.
And they can turn it into something real.
'Cos music is a gift, that only certain people get.
While others may just think that it's no big deal.
Chorus:
Well, I was given the gift of music.
And it's always been a big part of my life.
Given the gift of music.
And now I'm giving that gift to you.
V3:
Well music, it can make you happy, and sometimes it can make you cry.
That makes it such a special part of your life.
Bringing back those memories, sometimes you can't recall.
Music seems to bring it back to mind.
V4:
If you should be so lucky, to have that special gift.
Don't ever let it slip away.
So use that special talent, and put your feelings in a song.
'Cos the music won't forget just what you say.
Chorus:
Well, I was given that gift of music.
And it's always been a big part of my life.
Given the gift of music.
And now I'm giving that gift to you...
(giving that gift to you .... giving the gift of music)
