If


If One morning the sun were to go black And life was a shadow I’d dust out those corners— Those dark corners in me If One morning the birds stopped chirping And the world was a whisper I’d open my mouth And hear what’s been hiding in me If One day the grasp of gravity was loosened And everything fell into place I’d unclench these dirty hands To touch what been holding me And If One night the moon were to hide its face And the night was blacker than my soul I’d open these sore eyes To see what I’ve become—me I won’t wait If They all say “if” “how different we’d all be” They all say “if something changed me” I won’t wait Something is changing in me
