There is a song I know

that I cannot sing

I cannot hum

the lovely melody

the tune is lost in my empty mind

that’s lost of all music

and now is filled with bold-faced lies

maybe if I reached out a bit more

I could find it again

beyond the grasps of my mind

if only I could.

I’ve waited and waited

for the song to return

I’m praying and hoping

but I fear it ne’er will return

if only I’d tried more

if only I’d reached more

if only I’d sang more

if only I’d prayed more

then maybe

just maybe

the song would return

and everything would be as it almost was again.
