If I was somebody
Would you be there
If you knew who I was
Would you care
Would you think
“who is that lovely star”
How can I reach when it is so far.

If I was high
Would you be by my side
Would you hope
Someday I’d fall down

Would you wish
I was shorter
So that you could reach me
Would you jump so high
Until you could see me
Would you think about ways
To make sure I don’t stay
Just for me to be someone like you

Every morning
She watches the door
Waiting for her boy at war
To her unknown discontent
He’s been dead since he was sent

Just when he came
When he reappeared
He disappears And she’s reduced to tears
