If I would live...

If I would live above the clouds,

I would watch the world instead of being a part.

I would peer through the eyes of a stranger

and forget that I have a heart.

-

If I would live in the underground

I wouldn't strive to grow.

But rather search through the emotions

buried by humanity when they let go.

-

If I would live between the trees

I wouldn't find my way out.

I would listen to the silent whispers

of the tears no one knows about.

-

If I would live among the stars

I wouldn't light the sky.

But leave everything so dark and dull

they'll have no choice but to try.

-

If I would live between the snowflakes,

I wouldn't forever dance along

But fall and teach how though we're small,

together we harmonize a beautiful song.

-

If I would live where the humans should

I would tell of a ghost town wet with tears.

Where has living life gone lost?

Perhaps between their many fears?
