If I Could Give You Anything

Is there something I can offer you
 As a token of my gratitude
 Every gesture seems so small
 Still I'd like to try
 I could bring you flowers
 Flowers would be sweet
 I could find your favorite kind
 And lay them at your feet
 But flowers fade and die . . .
 I would rather be the ground
 In which a flower's grown
 Through which your feet must pass
 From which all seeds are sown
 If I could give you anything
 I would be the ground
 Is there some place that you'd like to see
 Some corner of the galaxy
 Name it and I'll take you there
 For I have learned to fly
 I could show you azure skies
 Or multi-colored orbs of light
 Glittering before your eyes
 Like jewels in the night:
 And they would make you sigh
 But I would rather be the space
 In which our lives are hung
 The silent, unseen thread
 Through which these stars are strung
 If I could take you anywhere
 I would be the sky
 If I could only find a way
 To tell you what my heart would say
 I could finally sing this love
 And it would make you cry
 But I have never found the words
 That can speak this grace
 That is why I must rely
 On a gestureless embrace
 Even so I try
 But I would rather be the love
 From which attempts arise
 The origin of poetry
 And of these tears that flood my eyes
 If I could tell you anything
 I would be the love
 If I could give you anything
 If I could take you anywhere
 I would be the ground
 I would be the sky
 I would be the love
 I am the ground
 I am the sky
 I am the love
