You’re the road between the roads not taken
You’re a mistake but your worth makin’

You’re the brightest of the blinding lights
You’re the highest of the greatest heights

You’re the sharpest of the tools that cut
You’re the house of bricks in the Three Little Pigs’ Huts

You’re the silence of the city that sleeps
You’re the tears of the widow that weeps

You’re the last green leaf among the reds
You’re the snow that carries joyful children on their sleds

You are every one of these forms and feelings
And in every heart you have a meaning
