If I had wings and could fly
I’d soar to the clouds where men could only dream of
I’d descend into the deepest dip where mortal men would not dare
Perching on greens and cruising around
If I could bask in the love of another
And swim in a sea of sweet melody
Pluck from the heart of it all
And blossom amongst the thorns.
If I could run and not be heard
Scream and not be shushed
Vacay away like there’s no ‘morrow
And sing as of the celestial
If I could smile away the tears
And erase away the scars
Start afresh like a day old babe
And see with a new pair of eyes
If I could live without leaving
And ignite without scorching
If I could express without giving too much
And love like nothing else matters.
If I could wish away my worries
And speak my dreams to fruition
Share my past like it’s past
And think my future to birth
Oh, If I could snap away all evil with my fingers
And sieve the wheat from the tares
Looking into the souls of men
And hearing the whispers of their thoughts
If I could reach the heights
And take from the lows
Touch the helm of the silk
And know the taste of gold
If I could reach for the stars
And shine brighter than them
Turn the tides around
And breathe again
So many ifs, but what if they could all be true.
