THE PERFECT GIFT

THE PERFECT GIFT

Music inspired by the song I learned in high school,
SETTING PEOPLE FREE

Words by Laina Owen

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

Refrain:
We live and learn in this old world
And as we older grow
Still more and more we realize
It's so little that we know.

(Repeat)

1
There's one thing that we wish we knew
It's where and when to speak
And how to say the things we feel,
To help the poor and weak.

(Repeat Refrain)

2
So many times we want to talk
But don't know what to say,
To give someone the strength he needs
to help him on his way.

(Repeat Refrain)

3
If God would grant one perfect gift
To one so small and weak,
The thing I'd ask is just to know
When and where and how to speak.

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
It's so little that we know!
