The Gift

Why are you frightened - can’t you see that it’s you
That ain’t no ghost - it’s a reflection of you
Why do you turn away - an’ keep it out of sight
Oh - don’t live up to your given roles
There’s more inside you that you won’t show


But you keep it hidden just like everyone
You’re scared to show you care - it’ll make you vulnerable
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise


But there’s no need just ’cos it’s all we’ve known
There’s more inside you that you haven’t shown


So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets


One day you’ll walk right out of this life
And then you’ll wonder why you didn’t try


To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down


How do you feel at the end of the day
Just like you’ve waked over your own grave


So why are you frightened - can’t you see that it’s you
At the moment there’s nothing - so there’s nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
