Easier
Jason Gray (Holiday) Lyrics

It's easier to give a gift of gold
It's simpler to offer materialistic things to someone than to give them my heart and let them hold it.

Than to give my heart for another to hold
Compared to giving the person the opportunity to own my heart, giving a tangible gift is easy for me.

It's easier
Giving things to someone seems to be a habit, so it's easier to continue rather than risking to open up emotionally.

It's easier to give you the things I do
It is not difficult for me to give material possessions and other items to people as a token of appreciation.

Than to open my life and let you walk through
For me, it is not easy to let people into my life since it brings out fear and vulnerability.

Do I hide behind my offerings
Do I use presents and offerings to conceal my true self from others.

While you're hoping for the heart of me?
Is the person on the receiving side expecting me to share my emotions and not just presents?

Am I the only gift
Does the person want me to be the gift itself instead of any other offering?

That you long for me to give?
Is my whole being the only thing that a person desires from me?

The weary wisdom of broken men
People who have lost and are weary tend to be wiser since they know how to avoid pain.

Says it's only the fool who rushes in
Such people say that taking risks or acting impulsively causes harm, so it is not smart to behave in that manner.

Only the fool
They imply that only a foolish person will disregard their advice and take chances.

So it's easier to give you only a part
It is simpler to share only some aspects of my life instead of my entire self.

Than risk giving away my whole heart
Rather than risking emotional vulnerability, it's easier to have surface-level relationships and not give away my entire heart.

It's easier, yeah, easier
The pattern has set in, so it's easier for me to continue giving material gifts than to open up to people.

Overcome by innocence
Innocence or purity made me ignorant of my surroundings and made my choices foolish.

My wisdom becomes foolishness
Due to my foolish decision-making, my wisdom is nothing compared to my lack of judgment.

Before the tiny babe
In comparison to the baby, the adults seem foolish and inexperienced.

Born to give himself away
Since the baby came to give himself to others without any expectations, the adults' emphasis on material gifts and other items appear to be quite unimportant.

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming!
The baby leads the adults with a bright light in the darkness, implying that even a small act of kindness can lead others to follow.

With glowing hearts by his cradle we stand
The presence of the baby's pure energy forces people to be more reflective and grateful.

Fall on your knees
Overwhelmed by the baby's goodness, people need to show gratitude and respect.

Fall on your knees
Since the baby gives without any expectations, people need to show genuineness and respect.

The conqueror comes in peace
The baby is a conqueror because he brings people together with love and kindness rather than through force and power.

Only a child could heal the wound
The baby's loving nature is powerful enough to heal wounds created by hard-hearted individuals.

Of the fear that keeps me away from you
The current pattern of giving material gifts instead of being emotionally honest stems from the fear of vulnerability and opening up to others completely.

Only a child, only a child
The above thought indicates that only someone as pure and unbiased as a child has the power to make me realize the importance of emotional vulnerability.

He was only a child, only a child
Continuing the above sentiment, the baby, who was pure-hearted, created a lasting impact on the adults around him.
