If I could
If I could say one simple thing to make you all believe
I'm changing with the seasons like a maple's autumn leaves
If I could spend another second feeling like I did...
Then I would move in all my chips to plead the highest bid
If I could understand you better, I could soothe your scars
But nothing stops the impact like a highways moving cars
If I could beat the odds before then they'll be beat again
Cuz only beating down yourself will beat you in the end...
If I could be there anytime... I'll always be my friend!
So just remember things we shared until we meet again...
If I could see you smile beside me here the morning after...
In tune with life like horseback riders share the horses canter
If I could sing a melody and you could hum the tune...
Then we could share this evenings light and grace the humble moon
If I could count the ways you all have made me feel so blessed
It'd probably take me days and then I'd need a day of rest
If I could run the fastest then I'd probably never run...
For if you runaway forever, pleasures never come....
If I could be somebody else I'd probably still be me
At least I know myself a bit and live at will & free....
If I could stop the storm from coming I don't think I'd do it
For life is often quite the storm but we can make it through it
We do the best we can by reading signs and knowing factors
And even through the struggling storm a rainbows glowing after...
