Ballad

If you can see the strong

Unwearied starlight

Riding up mountains of

The night astride

Then as you stand alone

Within the breathing darkness

I'll be at your side

If you can look on this

Unchanging sunlight

One second fully when the day is new

Then as the burning coin

Dazzles beneath your eyelids

I shall look at you

And if you can run where

Wind may beat about you

Out on the hill where shadows race

Touching grass touching

Trees and the edge of water

I shall touch your face

Though all the lands of

Heaven and earth divide us

No distance is a dark

Unbroken tether

If you can walk within

The same remembered music

We can walk we can walk together
