I'll do whatever I can for you
Buy every piece of land for you
But then I'd have a fear of giving you
Too much to take care of you
I could fly to the heavens and catch the moon
But I might cause the sun to come up too soon
I could entice the shining stars
I could take each one and put them in jars
But of what benefit am I,
If I take the light from your sky?
What if I picked enough flowers to fill your room,
Would I still be outside filled with gloom?
I could scoop up all the waters of the sea, clear and cool
But what good are the crashing waves in a silent pool?
So what, my love, can I really do
To prove that my love is true?
I could steal your heart, if I tried hard enough
But wouldn't theft defeat the purpose of love?
To wholly give your heart to another
Without disguise or sly cover
Who knows the songs that a caged bird sings?
For a caged bird cannot spread the song without wings
I'll leave you to love whom you will, my dear
In hopes that your heart's own gravity will pull you here
