Barriers

[ ...... wow! .... relationships!]

Why do we have these barriers?
How can I reach the real you?
I want to feel what you feel
... and see in your mind.

I thirst to know your heart
.... to hold your heart in my heart
.... to touch and feel

But we are disconnected...
no messages can get through.
The phone line has been broken.....
and I've lost the wifi password.....
There's static on the wire
and if I don't fix it soon
I might lose this magic fire.

This magic connection
.....that I ache for?...
If I cannot find it, how can I share it?
How will you know
just where my thoughts will go?

Do you even want to know
where it is that my thoughts should flow?
Why should you care .....
whether my heart is there?

Till we can touch ... then I must trust
that you have the same burning need....
So I will explore...
... in search of your small voice.

And when I hear you I can rejoice
'cos then the thoughts can flow.
Once the way is found I can
...... express .......... and share
and maybe those barriers
will come tumbling down
