Can you hear a gentle breath
Through fields of golden corn
Can you hear the willow shed
Her tears of dew at dawn
Can you hear a baby cry
A baby yet unborn
Shall you touch a drifting cloud
Floating `cross the skies
To swiftly touch the dancing flames
Reflected in your eyes
And so to touch a ray of light
As o`er the land it flies
And shall you speak of distant dreams
And of life`s turning wheels
Shall you speak of that great love
The veil of death conceals
Shall you speak of thine own self
That truth alone reveals
Where hangs the perfume of a rose
Before it comes to bloom
And where the fragrance of the night
Your spirit to consume
Should e`er the scent of beauty fade
Then will we sleep too soon
Can you see the smallest star
Refulgent in the night
Can you see a butterfly
Flash by you, fast in flight
Can you see the spark of truth
Behold glorious light
