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 gift



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
