[Verse 1] You wake up counting seconds Chasing every little task Hands on every little problem But they’re slipping through the glass You wear your worry like a watch face Spinning circles in your mind But every moment that you’re breathing Is a secret you can find [Chorus] Time is a gift Not a cage on the wall More than a list of the things that you do Open your hands Let the hurry fall Look at this day that’s been given to you Every heartbeat Every sunrise Is a quiet Golden sign You don’t have to earn this life Time is a gift A gift of time [Verse 2] Call your mother on a Sunday Laugh too hard with old friends Take the long road home at midnight Let the good talk never end Write your name into the soft sand Knowing waves will wash it clear Even what you cannot hold Still has meaning while it’s here [Chorus] Time is a gift Not a cage on the wall More than a list of the things that you do Open your hands Let the hurry fall Look at this day that’s been given to you Every heartbeat Every sunrise Is a quiet Golden sign You don’t have to earn this life Time is a gift A gift of time [Bridge] One day All the clocks go silent One day All the pages turn So love a little louder Let the smallest moments burn Into your memory like lanterns Lighting up the longest night You’re not running out of minutes You’re awakening to light [Chorus] Time is a gift Not a cage on the wall More than a list of the things that you do Open your hands Let the hurry fall Look at this day that’s been given to you Every heartbeat Every sunrise Is a quiet Golden sign You don’t have to earn this life Time is a gift A gift of time
