If I were the wind
I'd whisk away worries
And bring perfect
Blue skies your way.
If I were the sun
I'd never set on you
I'd keep you warm
Even when you were dreaming.
If I were a bird
I'd accompany your sleep
With whistled love themes
As a silent movie orchestra.
If I were the rain
I'd wash away the doubt
And nourish your hope
With spring's first crocus.
If I were a tree
I'd shade you from the sun
And keep the raindrops
From falling on your head.
If I were a mountain
I'd stand firm and strong
Protect you from life's tornadoes
And embrace you in my foothills.
As myself, I have only
The strength of a mountain
The steadfastness of a tree
The catharsis of laughter
The song in my heart
The warmth of my love.
And all of these carried on the wind
To wherever you are
Whenever you need me
And I can't be there
To hold your hand
Wonder at life's mysteries
Surround you with my love
And kiss you in the rain.
