Useless - Sailship

If I were a seed

Would you be the sun that lets me grow into a tree?

If I were a boat

Would you be the wind to catch my sail and send me home?

If I were a song

Would you be the voice to sing me out into the world?

Slow and strong

Slow and strong

If I were a book

Would you be the dog-eared pages saved for a second look?

If I were a pen

Would you be the hand that picks me up to write again?

If I were a song

Would you be the voice to sing me out into the world?

Or else I be useless like a nest without my bird

But I’m just a boy who knows a girl

Who knows the way around the world in her palm

In her palm
