Is there something I can offer you As a token of my gratitude Every gesture seems so small Still I'd like to try I could bring you flowers Flowers would be sweet I could find your favorite kind And lay them at your feet But flowers fade and die . . .
I would rather be the ground In which a flower's grown Through which your feet must pass From which all seeds are sown If I could give you anything I would be the ground
Is there some place that you'd like to see Some corner of the galaxy Name it and I'll take you there For I have learned to fly I could show you azure skies Or multi-colored orbs of light Glittering before your eyes Like jewels in the night: And they would make you sigh
But I would rather be the space In which our lives are hung The silent, unseen thread Through which these stars are strung If I could take you anywhere I would be the sky
If I could only find a way To tell you what my heart would say I could finally sing this love And it would make you cry But I have never found the words That can speak this grace That is why I must rely On a gestureless embrace Even so I try
But I would rather be the love From which attempts arise The origin of poetry And of these tears that flood my eyes If I could tell you anything I would be the love
If I could give you anything If I could take you anywhere I would be the ground I would be the sky I would be the love
