Can you take all my pain?
Bury it deep in the ground?

Maybe, a blooming seed of sorrow
Will soon rise up out of the cold dirt
And the sun and the rain might nurture it
With mercy, they might not crush its fragile beauty

Can you take all my pain?
Bottle up the tears and pour them in the ocean?

Maybe that is how the oceans were born
From all the tears from all the people everywhere
Who felt that the torrent of tears would never end
Depositing that gushing flood of weeping upon the ground

Can you take all my pain?
Write down all that hurts me and then set it to fire?

Watching the paper go up in a blaze
And bits of it taking off in flying embers
Floating its way up to the sky
Maybe that is how the sun got its pizazz  

Maybe......just maybe
