in another life

 In another life

if I could take your pain away
Like a fairy with a magical sway
I swear I'd do it even if it emptied me
To fill your heart with joy,
I'd emptied me.

In another life
If you could be someone else
I hope you'd chose not to be a star
Even if we don't meet that way
For I would never know you
I'd be happy if it fulfilled you
In a way you wanted.

In another life
If you're not happy in this one
I hope we'd be friends
And I'd take you into the clouds
Where faces disappear and memories stay
We'll relish in that realm
Till reality's at bay.

In another life
If I were a soul and you, a body,
I hope we'd merge and I'll tell you
How to be brave, how to be more resisting
You never need to change yourself
You just need love, a lot of which
This universe can't provide.

In another life
If we ever meet
Look me in the eye and tell me
You're stronger, you're bigger than this
Larger than the whole cosmic could contain
Tell me you're happy and I'd be happy too.

In another life
Until we meet
Stay put and I'll fight with deeds
I'll uncover the wrong and hide my scars
To let you walk fearless under the stars
In another life
until we meet.
