Glen Hansard - This Gift Lyrics

I love Glen's music, lyrics, such a story teller!

This song is even better live, saw him in Madrid with Eddie Vedder three days ago. It was awesome, new fan here!

Still great in 2019

Nothing'll beat the version he did with his whole band as a duet with a literal goddess in Iveagh Gardens. If I could have a mini DVD of that concert... phew!

This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is waiting to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require leaving
This gift will fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up
And you
You'll be no harbor to the sorrow
Just let it go.
Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Just you believe it now
This gift will last forever
This gift will never let you down
Some things are made from better stuff
This gift is ready to be found
Your heart's in wide receiving
Been too long buried in the sand
Some things require believing
These things just fall right in your hand
Just try to understand
If you long enough
And you don't give up
If you're strong enough
And you don't give up [x2]

Glen's first hit.

This is always my go to song. #RipPaPa

Glen's songs helped me open-up up my heart again

Glen's songs helped me open-up my heart again

Mine, too

That’s beautiful

Only recently just been made aware of Glen. So glad I've found this guy. Love it.

One of my favorite songs.  I listen to it when I need to come back.

Such a great song by such a great artist. And props to whoever painted Glen here...he looks so sad yet so beautiful! Saw him in Ohio years ago with Marketa and it made my year! It was my first date with my fiance!

Tears too!  Thank you God for Glen's Gift...

What's the name of the album? 

Alfredo it is called “ Rhythm and Repose”

I love this song. Just wow.

Does anyone feel the feels listening to this song? Holy...so beautiful

He kinda reminds me of Ray Lamontagne. 

The odd life of Timothy green brought me here... Nice song.

+Yesh uwah same

+Yesh uwah
Wow, same here. The odd life of Timothy Green. Thank You Glen for this beautiful song. You have no idea what I feel when i hear it....all good. I hope to shake your hand one day.

just discovered this song with timothy green...ican tell it made me cry such a beautiful and underrated song.....<3

Dude looks like Ryan Dunn

This made me cry .. So beautiful

This song ,, awn , toched my soul

Such a beautiful song. I love it!!!!

Josh Radnor sent me here

freaking brilliant...as he always is

Listening to the lyrics, I'm guessing the 'gift' is a Nokia 3310.

Can't wait to see him live..:):)

Thanks Josh Radnor....:)

The first time I heard this song was at a live concert. I cried so much. I'm actually crying writing this comment.

The odd life of...Great movie!!

He's about as real as it gets... sings from so deep within.
Keep it coming Glen. You're awesome.

love this song! Heard it on The Odd Life of Timothy Green :)

Which album is this one?

I did not like this song nor watched "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" and got teary eyed, rather fell in love with the song and was weeping watching the movie!!!! :'(

Great song from a great, underrated movie.

Timothy Green =' )

kdjhskjfhg, Speechless.

Im running to buy this CD!!! this is just.... AMAZING!!

I think the 'Gift' means something very special to everyone that loves this song... His songs have such beautiful undercurrents of Story behind them! Just specific and vulnerable enough to touch us but just intangible enough to be universal.
Once introduced me to this soulful artist, and I'm so, so grateful. Happy Thanksgiving....

Timothy Green

i just heard this song today in the odd life of Timothy Green. great song.

Going this Sunday to see him @ Buckhead Theater! Can't wait!

So sad the cd I picked up did not have this track on it... but get to see him live in a few weeks to hear it my own "gift".

Just heard this song from the move The Odd Life of Timothy Green. I'm in love with this song! He has a beautiful voice!

Thanks "Late Show" XD

i barley found out about this guy today from a movie its awshum

Don't hang your head in sorrow
Don't give up just before you win
Don't wait around for tomorrow
Open up your arms and let it in

I love this. It comforts me like no other song

I can't believe this song is a bonus track, i bought the album in July when I traveled to the US and they didn't have the deluxe version.. I tried to buy it from itunes and amazon and i can't because i'm not from the US... I'm in physical pain right now and i will be until i get this amazing song!

just heard this tonight on Letterman. brought me to tears

Just love it <3

I'm so deeply affected by his songs, i'm not ashamed to say he's brought tears to my eyes on many occasions

quite amazing. A wonderful song from a magnificent album. Mind you, I agree. The two bonus tracks are the best of the bunch.

Love, love, love this song !!!! I, too, am very surprised this was only on the bonus album. Repeat is my favorite setting with this song !!!

This song leaves me breathless. Good on ya, Glen, as usual! Brilliant.

I am shocked this came as a Bonus and not an album track. This is the most powerful song I've heard in ages. Thanks for uploading this for when I dont have my iPod near or I need to share it with somebody.

I have this on repeat. All day. Everyday.

This is my new favorite song by him. The message is absolutely spot on.
