learning.

won't you make my heart grow
faster?
won't you make my soul fly
higher?
won't you make my dreams linger
longer?
I thought you would.
I thought you could.

instead my heart, it faltered
sooner
and my soul, it sank
lower
and my dreams, they flickered
sooner
because you wouldn't.
because you couldn't.

but now my heart is growing
wiser
and my soul is gliding
smoother
and my dreams taste much
sweeter -

because I will.
because I can.
