Wouldn't It Be Good

Wouldn't It Be Good (Kyrielle)

If the world ever could,
Wouldn't it be good,
To have the sky closeby,
With each other at our sides?

Where the wind grasps easily,
The murky boughs of family,
And friendship close behind,
With each other at our sides.

How the blades would wamble,
The lowly grass ensemble,
Our memories entertwined,
With each other at our sides.

Would the tree leaves fall,
Answering autumn's call?
Those rare thoughts come to mind,
With each other at our sides.

Wouldn't it be great,
To never feel much hate,
And be loved for all of time,
With each other at our sides?

To stop such sallow war,
And mend our lifelong scars,
Wouldn't peace be nice,
With each other at our sides?
