It was a gift
More expensive than most
Arranged by someone who cared
Only for me
For no one but me
To be selfish and not to be shared
It was a gift
Soon a close friend
There through the pain and the tears
Solace for my heart
Comfort for my soul
A companion by my side through the years.
It was a gift
Six strings and some wood
Its music and song was mine
Crying my sorrow
Singing my joy
A history lost in time.
It was the gift
That freed the child
Trapped in a rusty old cell
It gave me a voice
It taught me to sing
My key to escape from hell
