How
How far would you travel to discover your own truths
If there was no one and no borders to stop you
How old would you wish to be
If only you counted the years or candles on your cake
How long would you hold true to your beliefs
If all that was believable were to vanish once you let go
How deeply would you care for the opinions of others
If your mirror reflected no conscience
How much of you would you surrender to rescue me
If there was nothing in it for you
How close would you dance in the arms of a moonbeam
If the only music playing was the sound of your heartbeat
How deeply would you surrender to passion
If she fulfilled everything but guaranteed nothing
How long could you love truly
If love demanded only the truth from you
How bravely would you stand by the one you love
If it meant standing against all odds
How will you know when you have reached your dreams
When there is nothing held in your dreams that is about you
How much of you would you truly risk
If loving someone was truly dangerous
How long would you wait for someone
If they promised to return someday
How sweetly would you sing
If only the deaf were listening
How far would you reach for me
If you heard my tears in the wind
How much of me should I surrender to rescue you
If there was nothing in it for me
