Natalie Cole The Gift Lyrics

Every captain must steer the wheel
Not by choice but from the voice that's in his ear
I have lived long and I've done much wrong
But I've survived through my lies, I'm still here

So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me

Well, I felt fire and I got tired
Of running from the truth
And I let people down and I wore the crown Of being the biggest fool

So all you people know what I say is true
That I'm here because of you
I have lived on, yes, I've made it through
You've returned your love to me

There were times I had enough, I almost gave it up
But you reached out your heart to me
Look what you've done, now I've become the best
Oh, I'm the best I can be, oh, oh, oh

You've returned your love, the gift of love
Yes, you gave this gift to me
