I Wonder . . .
I wonder if I closed them tight enough
Would my eyes cease to blind me
The chains break that bind me
Like gravity- or no air in the sea
Or expectations thrown on the pile of worries accumulating in my corner
I wonder if I fought through the failure
Would the happy come back
That maybe the answer isn't letting go
It's holding on tighter
But how do I walk on a tight-rope made of barbed wire
I wonder if I caught the wind just right
Could I fly
Lift my arms to the sky
Feel the wind, laugh in reply
And I'm free
I wonder if I smiled big enough
Could I spead all my joy to the world
If I sang loud enough
Could my voice break through the walls of the room with these worries
Break through the noise and be heard
I wonder if I could paint with the colors of the wind
Would they come alive with magic as the colors would blend
Send me a canvas
A paintbrush
I'll begin
I wonder if I clicked my heels together
Could I wake up in my bed
Would everything be fixed and my family be waiting
A house falls on my problems
And the wicked witch is dead
And I wonder if I looked hard enough
Would I see the things I wish for
Could I recapture the innocence of fairy tales
Pig tails
Or is it lost for good
I wonder if my eyes were closed
Would they cease to blind me
I'm trapped- come untie me
No air in the sea, Then there's gravity
And the piles of worries trying to overcome me
I know if I caught the wind right- I'd fly
Lift my arms up to the sky
And I'm free.
Would my eyes cease to blind me
The chains break that bind me
Like gravity- or no air in the sea
Or expectations thrown on the pile of worries accumulating in my corner
I wonder if I fought through the failure
Would the happy come back
That maybe the answer isn't letting go
It's holding on tighter
But how do I walk on a tight-rope made of barbed wire
I wonder if I caught the wind just right
Could I fly
Lift my arms to the sky
Feel the wind, laugh in reply
And I'm free
I wonder if I smiled big enough
Could I spead all my joy to the world
If I sang loud enough
Could my voice break through the walls of the room with these worries
Break through the noise and be heard
I wonder if I could paint with the colors of the wind
Would they come alive with magic as the colors would blend
Send me a canvas
A paintbrush
I'll begin
I wonder if I clicked my heels together
Could I wake up in my bed
Would everything be fixed and my family be waiting
A house falls on my problems
And the wicked witch is dead
And I wonder if I looked hard enough
Would I see the things I wish for
Could I recapture the innocence of fairy tales
Pig tails
Or is it lost for good
I wonder if my eyes were closed
Would they cease to blind me
I'm trapped- come untie me
No air in the sea, Then there's gravity
And the piles of worries trying to overcome me
I know if I caught the wind right- I'd fly
Lift my arms up to the sky
And I'm free.
