Who shall bring life
To these orphan dreams
That cling to me so tight?
Who shall wipe away
Dark, innocent fears
From trembling hearts?
Who shall kiss away
The deep pain from
Quiet eyes?
Who shall take away
The hurt and give back
Childhood to wavering thoughts?
Who shall it be
that places courage and love
Joy and beauty
Into tiny hands hardened by toil?
Who shall it be
that treads the land
where despair dwells and sobs echo?
That wanders amidst
Miserable loneliness?
That reaches out
Not to take but to give
And to give alone?
Who shall embrace
These dreams,
These orphan dreams?
Who, but you and me,
My Love?
