If you were the ground beneath my feet, I'd find a way to float or just walk so gently. If you were a star in the night sky, I'd figure out how to fly or just walk with my head high.

They pushed me around but they haven't knocked me down. Flowers die so I'll plant a pot inside. Babies grow and buy their own homes to fill with families of their own.

If you were the clouds that bring the shadows, the dark won't make me sad though I'd miss you. I'll make shadow puppets and I'll laugh because I know you'd love it and I'll cry a little, too.

If I were God I'd destroy all religion, abolish all divisions, and leave the world with love. And I'd probably take you up with me because we're selfish here above.

We've lost a lot but we've got much more. If you need comfort that's what we're here for. And if the ground shall crumble and the stars shall fall, I will hold your hand and we'll both stand tall.

I'm not so scared.
