THERE IS A SENSE INSIDE YOU
OF WHERE YOU'RE MEANT TO BE
AND THERE ARE STARS TO GUIDE YOU

AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE
AND THERE IS NO DIRECTION
FROM WHICH YOU CAN'T ARRIVE

TO FIND YOUR OWN REFLECTION
IN EVERYTHING ALIVE


AND THERE IS SUN AND SHOWER
FOR EVERY FIELD AND FLOWER
AND ROOM ENOUGH TO GROW

AND TIME ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT WHEN YOUR HEART IS OPEN
ONE THING IS GUARANTEED

GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED

THROUGH EVERY TEST YOU'VE TAKEN

EACH CHALLENGE THAT YOU FACE
ALTHOUGH YOUR FAITH BE SHAKEN
THERE STILL REMAINS A GRACE

NO SADNESS CAN ERASE IT
NO CYNICISM HIDE
FOR IF YOU JUST EMBRACE IT

YOU'LL FIND YOUR STRENGTH INSIDE

THERE IS A QUIET POWER

WITHIN YOUR DARKEST HOUR
ALL CREATURES BEAR ITS TRACE
ITS THERE IN EVERY FACE

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STRUGGLE
ONE THING YOU MUST CONCEDE
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED


IT IS A ROAD PARTAKEN
LIFE LONGING TO BE FREE

THAT WILL THE WORLD AWAKEN
INEVITABLY
IT IS A SLOW BUT STEADY

UNFOLDING THROUGH THE YEARS
AND WHEN THE CHILD IS READY
THE TEACHER APPEARS


SUN AND SHOWER
FOR EACH FIELD AND FLOWER

GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
AND THERE'S A PLACE IN HEAVEN

FOR EVERYBODY HERE
FOR EVERYBODY HERE
THANK YOU FOR THIS LIFE

THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY
GIVE ME WHAT I NEED
SEND ME ON MY WAY

GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
IF YOU LET HIM (HER) (HIM) (HER)
GOD GIVES YOU WHAT YOU NEED
