Could I write a poem or prose?
I beg, if anybody knows.

Tell me how to do it,
how to let it flow.

Teach me how to speak,
how to pour my soul.

Could I write the story of my life?
I wish to share it, sweetness and strife

Tell me where to begin,
how to let it show.

Teach me how to speak,
how to pour my soul.

Could I sing you a love song?
I feel the notes in my bones.

Tell me how to play it,
how to compose.

Teach me how to speak,
how to pour my soul.

Could I pray a prayer soft and true?
Could I be a child that belongs to you?

Tell me where to begin,
how to let you through.

Show me how to love like you,
how to be a part of a whole,

Teach me how to speak,
how to pour my soul.
