Write Me a Song

Write me a song where nothing’s the same
as it is now
or just as before.
Write me a song where there’s nothing to give
nothing to take
but you’ll always find more.

Write me a song where the world is as one
not just a whole
but the sum of its parts.
Write me a song where there’s nothing that counts
more than connections
of so different hearts.

I’ll write you a song where you can’t find your way
out of a bag
with just what you see.
If you write me a song where there’s no reason why
I wish I were you
or you wish you were me.

I’ll write you a song that’s no more than a thought
a dream of a world
or a hope for a day.
I’ll write you a song that won’t change a thing
for better or worse
that’s just how it will stay.

I’ll write you a song that you may soon forget
flying away
like a thought that has passed.
It doesn’t matter to me if you remember the song
“it’s the thought that counts.”
I just hope that can last.
