IF

If I was an acorn suspended in a tree

I'd want to fly around and round to tour the world and see

The air runs still and now it roars I'm falling floating free

No wings to fly a breeze to ride I sail on danger's sea

*

My fear drifts far behind me now danger is unknown

I splash down on a lily pad so far from where is home

In dream come true I'm hypnotized awake in traveling bliss

The inner side is now without the shadow of a kiss

*

The forming flowing waters strength so gently starts to flow

Beneath the ground in a tunnel's path where else is there to go

Not up nor down nor standing still not sidewards to or fro'

In motion not so frantically I'm swirling as I grow

*

Look yonder there a shining star it pierces through my night

Colors form a world for me my life engulfed in light

Oh dream come true I'm hypnotized awake at heaven's door

The inner side is now without - my shadow is no more
