Life As a Raft

If I could be a raft I would gladly rescue you If I could be a branch I would float as close to you as I could so that you could grab a hold of my buoyancy If I were a rainbow I would shine just so you would feel hope If I were a sparrow I would lite upon the branch near your window If I were a Sunbeam how I would shine down on you If I were steel I would be the girder of your house to make it strong I would be the walkway that never bends and shows you exactly the way to go and what to do But if I ever was a pathway I would always bend If I could speak in a thousand tongues I would speak to you in Latin and French and German and Norwegian speaking love in a thousand voices And I would write and sing songs that no one has ever heard before just to thrill you If I could do anything I would be something strange but I guess I am I would move waters to always be kind and remind rivers to stay within their banks and winds to always blow gently I would kiss all of the toddlers and rescue all of the children who are so hurt I would reach my hand out to hold the hand of everyone who's lonely If only I could do anything I wanted to... I would kiss you but I can't So I will dance in the rain that falls gently on my hill and be grateful I cannot move mountains and I cannot quiet seas But I can be grateful ...for all the beauty I see
