The Gift
                      It was for you 
                      A part of me 
                      An important part 
                      A proud part 
 
                      I was a little boy 
                      Sharing a treasure 
                      Sharing a secret 
                      Sharing a part of me 
 
                      Later is forever 
                      In the world of little boys 
                      Later is a lifetime 
                      In the hearts of little boys 
 
                      Little boys shouldn't give gifts 
                      That were meant for men to give 
                      Little boys get angry 
                      With women they mistake for moms 
 
                      The only gift you give 
                      Is the one you give yourself 
                      For the rest aren't gifts at all 
                      But yearnings to be loved 
 
                      And little boys shouldn't give gifts 
                      That were meant for men to give
