If I could
If I could open my heart
Open the door
Give someone the key
To the lock I put on.
If I could open my mind
Listen to the wise
Learn from others mistakes
Not only my own.
If I could open my ears
Understand messages
Meant just for me
There to help me through.
Then perhaps
I would love more than ever,
Share my heart with another
I’d have a lover.
Then perhaps
I would learn enough
To teach others
And not just myself.
Then perhaps
I would not be confused
I’d see my path
And follow it home.
If only I could.
Well, perhaps I can.
