If i could forget to breathe
forget to breathe entirely
it's happened down through history
And surely i could lose my head
some night i could drink too much
and take it off and just forget
And i will learn all languages
i will speak in every tongue
from highnesses to savages
and to all beneath the sun
Someday i will paint the sky
i will build a ladder, make a roller
that could reach that high
And nothing that i do will pass
everything i will and make and feel
and dream and know will last
I will rid the world of sorrow
stop all wars and pain
i will tell you of tomorrow
as i rule the wind and rain
I can do it all it's true
but only when i've done all that
oh will i turn away from you
only when i've done all that
oh will i turn away from you
