I live in a defeated world,
Vanquished by the gift of life;
My gift this is; the only one since birth.
I tried to give it back, so many times
To Him who gave the gift,
As yet no luck.
But as the midnight chimes approach,
The question\'s not if
He\'ll accept the gift,
But whether I can conquer time
In time, and gain the strength
He gave, to give Him back
The gift for good.
