Waves

If I was the sun alone in the sky,
With distant planets floating by,
I would yearn for contact
Though my light would blind their eyes.
But there is one gift I'd give
That might help them all to live -
My particles of photons may
Propagate the skies.

I'd send them waves,
Send them waves,
Send them waves.
I'd send them waves.

If I was the ocean vast and deep blue,
I may never run into you.
But my ripples you might feel
As you dip in a toe or two.
And the sand on the land may band together
Forming a castle that wouldn't last well.
But as you stroll on the beach I might reach you
With my lapping waves of blue.

I'd send you waves,
Send you waves,
Send you waves.
I'd send you waves.

If I was a child, so quite beguiled,
On my first bus ride to school
Rusty lunchbox and favorite socks
Pulled up to my ears,
I'd look outside the window
At your face dripping with tears.
I'd reach my tiny hand up
Assuaging all your fears.

I'd send you waves,
Send you waves,
Send you waves.
I'd send you waves.
