A Muscle For Your Smile

I want to be

Your shelter and your shade

The bed where you were made

The taste upon your tongue

The ground on which you run.

I want to be

A ladder for your step

A baby at your breast

A cup to catch your tears

A dream to hold your fears.

I want to be

Your shadow and your sun

The ground on which you run

The air inside your sighs

A muscle for your smile.

I want to be

The thunder in your storm

The town where you were born

The ocean where you swim

The sand against your skin.

I want to be

A string for your guitar

The leather in your car

The leaves inside your breeze

The first thing that you see.

I want to be

Your shadow and your sun

The ground on which you run

The air inside your sighs

A muscle for your smile.
