“The Gift” is the first single from the 1993 album Full Moon, Dirty Hearts, by Australian rock band INXS. The song was written by Jon Farriss and Michael Hutchence.

The lyric appears to touch on the subject of war and AIDS, with the author questioning the promises made while looking at an “empty sky”. The song ends with the strained and repeated verse:

“I was thinking, got the feeling,
The gift you gave is gonna last forever.
All the lies you find, all the truth you see,
Rise and fall, but I know what’s mine”.
