It's easier to give a gift of gold Than to give my heart for another to hold It's easier It's easier to give you the things I do Than to open my life and let you walk through It's easier
Do I hide behind my offerings While you're hoping for the heart of me? Am I the only gift That you long for me to give?
The weary wisdom of broken men Says it's only the fool who rushes in Only the fool So it's easier to give you only a part Than risk giving away my whole heart It's easier, yeah, easier
Overcome by innocence My wisdom becomes foolishness Before the tiny babe Born to give himself away
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming! With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand Fall on your knees Fall on your knees The conqueror comes in peace
Only a child could heal the wound Of the fear that keeps me away from you Only a child, only a child He was only a child, only a child
