If I can raise a new sun at dawn in dark horizon
I'll color shadows of your broken heart crimson.
If l can become the unfurling petals of flower
I'll bloom as smile in your welted face of despair .
If l can melt storm cloud, make rains of summer
I'll douse the fire of your burnt intolerant anger.
If I can become pearls of dew on verdant meadow
I'll enjewel your longing heart with love in all its hue.
If you need a hand to hold on your life's pathway
By your side you'll find me where I'll always stay.
