I WOULDN´T PLAY SAFE:

I asked her, if you had life over again, what would you do?

The old lady looked me in the eye & said “Let me tell you,

I would run further, I would swim deeper & higher, I´d fly,

And for all the good reasons, I would then learn to cry”.

 

If I had my life over again, I´d surely learn to play,

I´d pray deeply every night & I´d dance every day,

I´d sing in the mornings, from the first dawning light,

And then I would love with ferocity, every given night.

 

If I had life over again, I would learn to forget & forgive,

I´d pardon all sins & from bad, the good I would sieve,

I would tell you, “I love you” & remove all that life chafes,

And I promise you child, “That I would never play safe”.
