Let's imagine something abstract
Like a parrot in a pearl suit, or an apple reciting a love song
Let's catch butterflies with our teeth and feel them flutter in our tummies like fireflies in a jar
Let's walk in dry rain and splash in sun puddles
Then paint our faces with someone else's expressions
Let's imagine something abstract
Like a horse in high heels and the fly who fell in love with her
Or the night stars writing poetry of their fear of the dark
Let's watch the sugar-coated planets slow dance across the universe while we sip our cup of aquaintences that so casually role by like fog
Let's imagine something abstract
Let's drink our oxygen! Pinkies out
And eat the clouds like purple flavored cotton candy
Then listen to the cat sing his heart out about how beautiful the mouse is
Now
Let's imagine something real
We can't put a parrot in a pearl suit or make a fly fall in love with a horse
We can't drink out oxygen or splash in puddles made of the sun
Afterall, we're only human
But
What we can do, is we can
Dream
Laugh
Inspire
Influence
Care
Kiss
Give
Teach
Help
Hope
Love
WE CAN LOVE
Afterall, we ARE human.
