If I Had the Words

If I had the words

I would use them

If I had the colors

I would paint them

For life passes you by

As you try

To make the best

Of what you have

And

It’s not always what you want

If there was a time

I would make it

For if I could be perfect

I would fake it

For when the moments

In time

Keep rolling by

We just have to try

And make it

If there is a light

I will shine it

In my insufficient

Mind

I will hold up a map

Of the path

That I go

Down the wire

And out the window

The sun shine

And brings in tomorrow

Baffled

It was of the

Baffling type

The way my mind

Raced

When I heard

The words

Displayed

From the heights

Of the most

Intense moment

Of my life

I had to start again

But not without hope

And direction

So I packed my bags

And off I went

Wither and Blow

Wither and blow

So I am told

Is the way the winds

Goes

It can destroy

The sturdiest of

Foundations

It can rampage

The plans

We are making

So whether it be

The wind or the snow

It changes the face

Of whatever we

Know
