To Be Gifted...

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

Your gift
from God
is your debt to the world
you give because
it was given
to you
free of charge

To whom much has been given
Much is required
The requiem of a dream
rooted in God's desires
No matter how hard it gets
keep that inner fire
And God will take your talent
use it for something higher

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

Your gift
from God
is your debt to the world
you give because
it was given
to you
free of charge


Don't you bury your talent
you got to let it grow
if God has given it to you
let the people know
Much is required
We were are given purpose
so let your purpose show
and when the spirit leads
you'll feel that warming glow!

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

Hey-yay-ay
It's a new day!
(It's a new day!)

If you're a writer (write on)
If you're a mother, be strong
If you're a singer sing praise
If you're teacher, show the way
If you're dancer, jump high
If you're an actress make them cry
Use your gifts, don't let life pass you by
