I Would...

I would travel any distance.
I would suffer any pain.
I would carry any burden
To spend a moment with you.

I would waste away a lifetime.
I would forfeit every gain.
I would wait nearly forever
To spend a moment with you.

I would travel ‘crost the oceans,
Every current, every swell.
I would fight the tides eternal
To spend a moment with you.

I would storm the gates of heaven.
I would search the depths of hell.
I will pray to God in heaven
To spend a moment with you.
