I Would I Were
Yearning for Connection: Embracing Love and Wonder
Lyrics
I would I were a Robin's song borne upon the wind
I wish I were a Robin's song carried by the wind
Lilting light through morning bright
Melodious and gentle, illuminating the bright morning
Soaring from the limb
Rising gracefully from a tree branch
And if I were that Robin's song I'd soar without delay
If I were that song, I'd soar immediately
And be the first thing that you hear
To be the first sound you hear at the start of your day
As you begin your day
Expressing a desire for a positive impact on someone's morning
I wish the Northern Lights were of a fabric apprehended
Expressing a wish about the Northern Lights
That from these earthbound human hands
Desiring the ability to manipulate the lights with human hands
Those lights could be suspended
Wanting to control and suspend the Northern Lights
I wish the northern lights were mine to hem and sew and weave
Desiring ownership to craft and create with the lights
I'd make a cloak for you to wear
Expressing a desire to make a protective cloak for someone
To keep you from the breeze
To shield from the cold breeze, indicating care and concern
Oh all of the questions
Expressing contemplation and uncertainty
All of the stars in the sky
Alluding to the vastness of unanswered questions and stars
Oh never the answers
Highlighting the persistent nature of questioning
Always the wondering why
Emphasizing the enduring mystery and uncertainty in life
I wish my hand could touch the place within your heart that's hidden
Wishing for the ability to touch someone's hidden emotions
Go to you as if some ghost
Describing a desire to reach someone as if summoned
That by you had been bidden
Despite life's uncertainties, there's a belief in connecting with others
And though this world is touch and go I cannot but believe
Expressing faith that love endures despite life's challenges
Of all the things that touch us first
Suggesting that love is the most enduring and impactful force
Love is the last to leave
Love remains even when other things fade away
Of all the things that touch us first
Highlighting the lasting impact of love on our lives
