How Could I

(album: Focus - 1993)

How could I forget such a revelation
To love without fear, to learn
Without question
How could I regret the meant occasions
I must begin this day again

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds, one's own canoe

How could I

Humility take charge of me
Drown me in truth's modest waters
Loosen your grip identity
Free me from an ego's falter

Freedom and reason shine through

Love too often is only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
Must I try?
How could I?

Freedom and reason shine through
Paddle upon the clouds, one's own canoe

Love too often only a dream
If I am harsh and unkind to myself
So I share these attitudes with you
For in this spewing cadence of my pride
How could I!
