What If We Could Be Real?
(The Velveteen Rabbit Song)
| 9/25/12 | #456
If I were a velveteen rabbit
worn away with love from a child
would I be grateful?…
if I were a rock in a river
tumbling until I was smooth
would I be grateful?…
If I were a word on the air
spoken only to disappear
would I be grateful?
And if there was every reason to cry
And it caused my heart to open up wide
would I be grateful?
Refrain:
What if we could be real?
What if we could love ourselves exactly as we are
and allow the love of others past the bars of our hearts
What if love made us real?
Brave enough to feel
So we could finally allow ourselves to heal?
Truly Grateful for this moment
Grateful for this moment
Grateful for this moment of our lives
If you were a velveteen rabbit
worn away with love from a child
would you be grateful?…
if you were a rock in a river
tumbling until you were smooth
would you be grateful?…
If I were a dandelion seed
And everybody called me a “weed”
Would I be grateful?
If I was a hole in the road
That everybody cursed as they drove
Would I be grateful?
If I dared to go for my “dream”
And my world fell apart at the seams
Would I be grateful?
If I was a breath of fresh air
And you breathed me in but didn’t much care
Would I be grateful?
Refrain:
Bridge:
What if we weren’t so focused on lack and pain?
What if when we fell down we just got up again?
What if love was like sand on a beach
plenty within everyone’s reach
Nothing to steal, nothing to hide, nothing to fear?
