Strangely Wrapped Gift Lyrics

The day he left her she couldn't speak
Stared out the window the better part of a week
She'd lived her life through him for such a long time
When she looked inside herself she wasn't sure what she'd find

She had to open the door alittle wider now
She had to dig alittle deeper inside her somehow
She walked into the fire alone and scared stiff
Now she sees his leaving was a strangely wrapped gift

Little Jamie's body nas never worked right
He's never had the peace of sleeping straight through the night
His parents get weary and his parents get worn
Still they always bless the day that little Jamie was born

He opens the door alittle wider now
Lifts them up a little higher somehow
It may look to the world like a 24 hour shift
But his folks know life with Jamie's just a strangely wrapped giftRed Grammer - Strangely Wrapped Gift - http://motolyrics.com/red-grammer/strangely-wrapped-gift-lyrics.html

What is it that we're really made of?
How else will we ever know?
Till the Hand puts us in the Fire....
Do we burn or do we glow?

The box on my doorstep looks sad and forlorn
The wrapping paper's faded, it's tattered and torn
For a moment I wonder what on earth it might be
Till I see the tag and realize it's made out to me

It's gonna open the door alittle wider now
It's gonna lift me up alittle higher somehow
I used to run like the blazes, now I get the drift
Someone who loves me sent me a strangely wrapped gift....

Someone who loves me...
Someone who really, really loves me...
Someone who loves me sent me a strangely wrapped gift
