If I had a thousand answers
My soul would reach no more
If my voice sang all the lyrics
My silence you'd ignore
If I wrote all of the poems
My dreams would all be gone
If works tried to escape me
My world would do all wrong
If I danced all of the dances
My feet would get some rest
If I touched all life's compassion
My soul would pass the test
If you tell me I can't do it
My spirit would prove you wrong
If you listen to my heartbeat
My heart is yours to own.
