Ponder
One can't help but wonder ...
What if -- I were to tell you
That I've seen horses fly,
Upon the wings of Pegasus
Across the star-filled sky?
Would you look at me and ponder --
Or accuse me of a lie?
What if -- I were to tell you
That I've seen what the future holds,
And sometimes it can be scary
As many prophets have foretold?
Would you look at me and ponder --
Or would you really want to know?
What if -- I were to tell you
That I've lived many lives,
And that life's a menagerie of dreams
A collage of borrowed time?
Would you look at me and ponder --
Or would you just wonder why?
One can't help but wonder ...
What if -- I were to tell you
That the cow jumped over the moon,
And that I was there and that I saw
the dish run away with the spoon?
Would you look at me and ponder --
Or would you think I was a loon?
What if -- I were to tell you
That I've been inside your dreams,
And I know what you've been thinking
About all those secret things?
Would you look at me and ponder --
or would you just simply Scream!?
What if -- I were to tell you
Would you listen and wonder why,
Would you want me to tell the truth
Or would you rather hear a lie?
Would you look at me and ponder --
Or try to read between the lines?
One can't help but wonder ...
