"If I would ask for something I would ask for sunrise, a new day of life being born: a new bit of soul. I would ask for the world with you in it, warm and smiling. I would ask for new air brought in on a breeze and water nearby. I would ask for a word that would ask other words to dance. I would ask for a song that would be all the songs of a new day." |
