If I tell you what‘s inside me
will you touch it, soft and careful
Will you know if – I can find myself
just how fragile I can feel
If I try to say the beauty – that has entered through my soul
will you see a joy you know – will you only think me a fool
If I tell you what‘s inside me
will you tell me what‘s inside of you
will that trusting be denied me,
will you only stay aloof
If I try to say the anguish – that has entered through my soul
will you hide your scars from me – will you judge me or console
If I tell you what‘s inside me
will we meet in understanding
If you tell me what‘s inside you
will I know from inside me
what it is that you are meaning – will it be my meaning too
will be meet in recognition? – will we part in solitude?
