Written by mark davis & marti sharron


Every captain must steer the wheel, not by choice but from the voice

That's in his ear, i have lived long and i've done much wrong

But i've survived through my lies, i'm still here, so all you people

Know what i say is true, that i'm here because of you, i have lived on

Yes i've made it through, you've returned your love to me

Well i felt fire and i got tired of running from the truth

And i let people down, and i wore a crown of being the biggest fool

So all you people know what i say is true, that i'm here because of you

I have lived on, yes i've made it through, you've returned your love to me

There were times i had enough, i almost gave it up

But you reached out your heart to me, look what you've done now

I've become the best, oh, i'm the best i can be, oh, oh, oh

You've returned your love, the gift of love, yes, you gave this gift to me
