Ballad

If you can see the strong unwearied starlight
Riding up mountains of the night astride
Then as you stand alone within the breathing darkness
I'll be at your side
If you can look on this unchanging sunlight
One second fully when the day is new
Then as the burning coin dazzles beneath your eyelids
I shall look at you
And if you can run where wind may beat about you
Out on the hill where shadows race
Touching grass, touching trees and the edge of water
I shall touch your face
Though all the lands of heaven and earth divide us
No distance is a dark, unbroken tether
If you can walk within the same remembered music
We can walk, we can walk together
