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.
