Day 9: Touching Feelings

If I had faith to move mountains,

I’d lay my cards on the table,

And build a rock from a fountain.

I’ll ride a geyser to heaven

Then I’ll glide on wings of angels.

If I had faith to part the sea,

I’d work wonders mankind will tell;

I’ll do things folks aint ever seen.

I’ll speak to the wind and foretell

Every tomorrow scene by scene.

If I had faith to break thro walls,

I’d remake the earth rid of wars.

I’ll give the three elements charge

Over all emotions corrupt

By the nature of man at large.

If I had faith to touch feelings,

I’d touch new hearts every minute,

I’ll put a shine on all faces

And carry the weak in the streets.

I’ll be there to bleed when they bleed.

Day 1: If Time Was Forever

If time was forever

Could we ever get our acts together?

Could broken hearts find a place to hide?

What about those lonely tears we cried?

If time was forever

Could faith infuse our souls with power?

Could we find reason to trudge on thro?

Could we set our hopes beyond the moon?

If time was forever

How much weight could we stand up under?

Could we find strength to resist pressure?

Could memories of loved ones be treasured?

If time was forever

Could compassion still be the answer?

Could we look beyond our noses too?

And lift up the fallen in Mosul?

If time was forever

Could we believe in a life hereafter?

Could there be justice for the oppressed?

Would hope not be a pain for the dead?
