[00:22.35]Is there something I can offer you
[00:29.13]As a token of my gratitude
[00:35.61]Every gesture seems so small
[00:41.79]Still I'd like to try
[00:48.90]I could bring you flowers
[00:53.94]Flowers would be sweet
[01:00.18]I could find your favorite kind
[01:02.76]And lay them at your feet
[01:12.18]But flowers fade and die . . .
[01:18.54]I would rather be the ground
[01:25.65]In which a flower's grown
[01:27.39]Through which your feet must pass
[01:33.33]From which all seeds are sown
[01:44.37]If I could give you anything
[01:50.82]I would be the ground
[01:56.73]Is there some place that you'd like to see
[02:03.57]Some corner of the galaxy
[02:06.30]Name it and I'll take you there
[02:17.10]For I have learned to fly
[02:25.44]I could show you azure skies
[02:29.49]Or multi-colored orbs of light
[02:35.70]Glittering before your eyes
[02:37.89]Like jewels in the night:
[02:48.90]And they would make you sigh
[02:54.12]But I would rather be the space
[03:01.59]In which our lives are hung
[03:03.12]The silent, unseen thread
[03:13.83]Through which these stars are strung
[03:20.28]If I could take you anywhere
[03:26.79]I would be the sky
[04:27.45]If I could only find a way
[04:31.44]To tell you what my heart would say
[04:37.89]I could finally sing this love
[04:44.13]And it would make you cry
[04:50.49]But I have never found the words
[04:56.76]That can speak this grace
[05:02.94]That is why I must rely
[05:05.64]On a gestureless embrace
[05:15.81]Even so I try
[05:21.99]But I would rather be the love
[05:28.83]From which attempts arise
[05:37.62]The origin of poetry
[05:40.68]And of these tears that flood my eyes
[05:47.85]If I could tell you anything
[05:54.81]I would be the love
[06:01.08]If I could give you anything
[06:07.50]If I could take you anywhere
[06:13.53]I would be the ground
[06:17.07]I would be the sky
[06:20.25]I would be the love
[06:27.66]I am the ground
[06:29.82]I am the sky
[06:36.00]I am the love
