1. If I were a river I would flow away, flow away to you.
Racing through the valleys I would know the way, know the way to you.
Chorus: But lacking such direction for the things that I must do,
In my imperfection
I will sing this song to you.
2. If I were an eagle I would fly away, high away, to you.
Above the mighty mountain I would soar all day, soar all day for you.
Chorus: But I have so much choice it makes me question what I do,
So help me find my voice so I can sing this song to you.
Bridge: How can I express myself, unworthy as I am?
Who am I to want such things, being but a man?
3. If I were the sunshine I would spread my rays, everyday, so bright,
And even in the darkness I would find a way to penetrate the night.
Chorus: The pale moon's reflection would remind you I am true,
But absent such connection I will sing this song to you.
4. So, since I'm not a river I can't wind my way, wind my way to you,
And since I'm not the sunlight I can't shine all day, and find my way to you,
Chorus: And since I lack the wings to fly I'll do what I can do,
My purpose is to sing, so I will sing this song,
I'll sing this song I'll sing this song, I'll sing this song to you
