If I Could

If I could capture dreams
for you
this ocean air
dreams of living easy
of music
and crowds and parties
I would

If I could be the one
who knows
you are
the most interesting
man in the world
I do

Your most beautiful dreams
are real
they’re yours already
you’re the best party I’ve been to

Also because
you’ve survived
the years of being broken
of rotten hands

you cannot become
all that you will be
without all that you have been
and all that you have faced

and whatever crowd will be
waiting when you come out
into the stage
will be one greeting
a hero
