If I Could

If I could fly
across the sky
I'd be an eagle
soaring high
with mighty wings
in breathless flight.

If I could write a song
it would be a ballad
not of pain
or of longing
but of faith
and of hoping.

If I could be a new creation
I'd like to be the deep blue ocean
keeping the secrets of its bosom
an infinite mystery to fathom.

If I could be part of a rainbow
I'd be the color yellow
bringing laughter and mirth
to golden home and hearth.

If I could live
in another place and time
I'd only wish to be
where you will be
I'd try to end all questioning
and do only one thing
worship you just the same.

Life is a perpetual dream.

If I could
I'd love you
longer than forever
if it would mean
you'd be mine by then
and I'd stop living
the dream that is
you.
