Can I see a pain within your eyes?

Can I sense a fear within your mind?

Can I hear the sounds of anxious words?

As I hold your sweet lips close to mine.

I touch a smile that’s touched my heart,

For I know of sadness from afar.

I would breathe each breath just to ease your sighs,

As I hold you close within my arms.

I will seek the source of all that scars,

As I listen for your trembling call.

I pray for you to be as one,

As I catch each gentle tear that falls
