Can I?

I wonder often if I can
I ask aloud again and again

I look for signs in people's faces
I often find empty embraces

I search my soul for answers fair
I pick my brain - as if something's there!

I can just look to you, I know
And if I do, can you just show?

I can and did and guess what now
I feel you here, I'm better somehow

So if I can and if I do
The answer will come
To me from You!
