Can you redeem a dream
From the pawn office of Time
Can you pay now for something
You should have never done?
Can you bury the past
Into a broken clock
Can you imprison memories
With chains and golden lock?
Can you forgive others
For what they have not said
Can you forget the sins
Of the buried and dead?
Can you discover peace
In succession of days
Can you find lost harmony
In the tangle of names?
Can you imagine living
In colours of the hush
Can you paint the future
With one stroke of the brush?
Can you sleep with open eyes
Dreaming that you live
Can human tenderness still
Make you smile and give?
Can you just walk and talk
With lips that never sigh
Can you survive this mundane plight
With eyes that never cry?
Can you share your only life
With those you never knew
Can you reach out your trembling hand
To what is best in you?
