I'll break the clouds with sleep,
I'll climb the hills with broken feet
up cliffs that are too steep.
I'll follow down the forest path
that's never been walked before.
I'll only buy from free shops
where everything costs more.
I'll give up all the things of mine
that I have never had,
I'll give up all the happy thoughts
that always make me sad.
I'll speak all my wisdom
through lips forever closed,
I'll play the notes of silence
of songs that I've composed.
I'll say goodbye to dearest friends
whom I have never met,
I'll pay back all the debts I owe
on wagers never bet.
I'll wake up every morning
and give my body, dying,
to this life I'm living
or until then die trying.
I'll fill my plate with morsels
of every kind of fast,
I'll look ahead to brighter days
that have already passed.
I'll harvest all the crops of grain
that never have been sown,
I'll pick and eat the finest fruits
whose seeds have never grown.
I'll spend eighty years to do
what should take one day long,
I'll correct the worlds mistakes,
but find out I was wrong.
I'll join the war and fight for peace,
force freedom on the lands,
Bring justice to the people
taking rights from greedy hands.
I'll eat the sour honey,
the ice that burns my lips,
I'll travel all the oceans
on long past sunken ships.
I'll study all the history
that's repeating now today,
change nothing, for tomorrow
has happened now that way.
I'll ignore all of the things
that mean the most to me.
I'll try for these impossibles
that are easier to be.
