I’LL BE
Wherever you are, wherever you go,
I will always be there, and you won’t even know.
If you want to see me, just look around.
Look closely at everything you see and listen to every sound.
I’ll be a delusion that’s stuck in your mind.
I’ll be an illusion that you just can’t find.
I’ll be a needle buried deep in the hay.
I’ll be a riddle that keeps you at bay.
I’ll be the ghost that haunts your soul.
I’ll be the path down which you stroll.
I’ll be the moon that puts the sparkle in your eyes.
I’ll be the sun that shines through your window when you rise.
I’ll be the ground when you need to walk.
I’ll be the sound when you need to talk.
I’ll be the wind that blows through your hair.
I’ll be the eyes when you feel a stare.
I’ll be the coffee when you wake.
I’ll be the cookies that you bake.
I’ll be the water when you go for a swim.
I’ll be the tree when you’re out on the limb.
I’ll be the flowers that you put in a vase.
I’ll be the sky when you need some space.
I’ll be the song that you love to sing.
I’ll be the chapel bells that ring.
I’ll be the thought that makes you smile.
I’ll be the potion that you keep in a vial.
I’ll be your wings when you need to fly.
I’ll be the tear when you need to cry.
Wherever you are, wherever you go,
I will always be there, and you won’t even know.
If you want to see me, just look around.
Look closely at everything you see and listen to every sound.
