I could never write a song

I could never write a song

Blend the words into the music

Pen a poem with subtle shifts

In mood and metaphor

Dispensing with rhyme

In favour of rhythm

I could never

Dance a samba

Swim naked in the sea

At midnight

Beneath a million stars

With the lights of a taverna

Twinkling from the beach

The sound of distant laughter

A picture book backdrop to die for

Dreams are made of this

I could never

Move a mountain

Climb above the treeline

To pick flowering Edelweiss

Sweep grandly through the skies

On the wings of angels

Paint a world in colour

Sprinkle it with joy

Bring everyone together

Break the chains

Kill the lie

I could never live

A life for nobody

When I live my

Life for you
