A glimpse of what could have been
A paradise I’ve seen,
A street so clean,
A man free of fourteen.
A glimpse of what could have been,
Where men lives,
Where death yields,
Where sons shines.
A glimpse of what could have been,
In the darkest nights,
In the strongest tides,
The peace still shines.
A glimpse of what could have been,
Where the dead sang and never yelled,
The birds fly, the birds chipper to the sky.
Yes, the sun will sink, but yes, the sun will rise.
From the living flesh to the living sigh, life didn’t just go by.
A glimpse of what could have been,
Where life is in its prime,
Where life is like rhythm.
A glimpse of what could have been.
From the heart I smiled,
From the eyes I shined,
For love I rhymed.
A glimpse of what could have been,
Where dreams do not bend,
Where freedom we send,
Where joy we’ve learned.
A glimpse of what could have been,
For love in the heart,
For the cleansed heart, clean of all that hurt.
What could have been, if only we weren’t worth as much as the dead.
