The Gift of Life: No. 5. The gift of each day

If you could have any gift, any treasure
 Taste any pleasure, then what would it be?
 Search the wide world high and low for an answer
 Over the mountains and down to the sea
 Would you wish for youth and beauty, or wealth to make a show?
 Or power and position and strength? Oh no
 For you youth it will vanish, and beauty will fade
 And your wealth and position are all just a passing parade
 May your soul have the gift of music
 May your heart be inspired with song
 May the echoes remain in your memory
 Like a friendship that last your whole life long
 When your joy is the joy of music, all the magical sounds you hear
 Everyday that you spend with music
 Is the best day, the best new day of the year
 May your soul have the gift of music
 May your heart be inspired with song
 May the echoes remain in your memory
 Like a friendship that last your whole life long
 When your joy is the joy of music, all the magical sounds you hear
 Everyday that you spend with music
 Is the best day, the best new day of the year
 (Just the best day, the most special day of the year)
