Lyrics Giver - Wendy McNeill

Apologies to those of you that are eternal sunshine
But it seems so ostentatious, don't you trip on shadows sometimes
While crumpling the notions and tossing them away
And going through the motions and seizing the day
I want to know what you mean when you say you're a giver
I want to know what you mean when you say, I care
See I found myself a mother, she helped me take a stand
But she was on a mission, left before I landed
I know that this world is a strange one
Nothing is quite as it seems
A king rich from trickery rules here
And seems to have killed a true queen
I want to know what it takes to remain a giver
I want to know how to stoke my faith in man
Chimeras and sweet nothings sinking in the sand
When I try to grasp them they dissolve in my hands
Belief is superstition, magic, and religion -half blind
Disbelief an endless question, emptiness, despair
The river that's between them is the safest place to swim
Never mind the rapids, we're already half in
I want to know what you mean when you say you're a giver
I want to know how it feels to be so near
That doesn't seem to be the way it is today
It could surely help me if I heard you say
Giver, away, away, away
