He Gave So Much

 

He only asked for space the world could only focus on his face

He gave so much of himself he never asked for much from us

Just some time to be alone 

So he could find out who he really was

He gave of his youth he spoke of love he spoke of truth

He gave so much to all he knew he never asked for much

Just some time to to get to know the man he really was

He searched the world for his true love

But the world would not let him be

He gave so much and asked for for little in return

Just some time to get to know the man he really was

He lived his life the best he could

Yet the world could not let him be

To spend some time with those he loved

He gave so much of himself

Yet the world wanted more

No time to sleep no time to weep

He was always thinking of a way to heal the world

A world who always wanted more of him

He didn't ask for much

Just some space to figure out who he really was 

He gave up youth he gave his time

He looked for love around the world

He only asked for some time

Yet the world could not let him be

The world could only ask why he changed his face

They couldn't give him what he asked

Just a little time and space

So he could seek his one true love

The one he could hold and keep

The one he longed to share his hopes and dreams

No he didn't ask for much

For all he gave with no return

Just for us to give him  time

To figure out who he really was

Now the heavens he does sleep

Where time and space is his to keep

Here the world does weep

For a man that gave so much

And asked for little for himself
