Where is the gift that you promised to me?
I’ve been searching forever – now where can it be?
It’s not in the hallway that letter I see
Someone’s “I love you” more than I love me
It’s not in the mountains or under the sea
The sun and moon above me
The stars and crescent key
Though walking through holly and halls
glistening gold
I am walking in slavery, just won’t be told
That here in the moment, this moment alone
The dream realized, the heart will be flown
Over the mountains and under the sea
For it is in the perfect present
If only you would see
Love yourself, know the moment
What wonders then can be
Where is the gift that you promised to me?
Where is the love that will set my soul free?
When will my fame and good fortune unfold?
Will the magic of alchemy do as you’ve told?
Where is the gift that you promised to me?
In the perfect present
If only you would see
Love yourself, know the moment
What wonders then can be
In the perfect present
Glory, glory be
Love yourself, know the moment
What wonders then can be
