if i then maybe you

if i can find some beauty in the image
if i can find that beauty within myself
and the people that i know
if i can love without fear
and realize my courage in the morning
not hide in the night and lonely darkness of the day
if i can rise with the doves' singing
then i will live

and maybe others will join me
in the hollow
beneath the willow
on the horizon
to lay on the earth
watching the heavens
palm to palm

then i live
