I wish the trees weren’t so quiet – With you around; And I wish the leaves would sing, When they fall to the ground I wish the branches weren’t so weak – With you around; They dance so peacefully, When they fall to the ground I wish the grass didn’t seem so green – Across…

There’s a million things you can’t change, A thousand where the outcome remains the same A hundred ways to breathe A dozen ways to smile Two ways to think You can’t stop gravity from holding us down You can’t change the color of the sky You can’t see the wind You can’t hold a knife…
