A Song

I wish I can write a song
So beautiful that
The birds will come to sing,
And the mothers will hum this hymn

I wish I can compose a music
So beautiful that
The people in the subway
Would stop and listen
And hold

I wish I can sing a melody
So splendid
That the people walking
Along the streets of New York
Will close their eyes and resonate

I wish I can hold a music so powerful
Which will cross continents
And reach you,

I wish a music so compelling,
A music so powerful you'll want
To cross continents
And come back home
