This is the poem I don't want to write
This is the picture I don't want to paint
This is the story I don't want to tell
This is the photograph I don't want to take
This is the song I don't want to sing
I would give so much to turn back that day
I would turn back the clock, uncrumble the rubble
I would breath life back into the shattered bodies
I would pick up the billion shards of broken hearts
I would make those hearts whole
But I am one man
So I cannot heal the past
But I can build the future
I cannot turn back the clock, uncrumble the rubble
But I can pick up the pieces of broken hearts
And I can help those hearts heal
This is the poem I don't want to write
This is the picture I don't want to paint
This is the story I don't want to tell
This is the photograph I don't want to take
This is the song I don't want to sing
But I will.
