"The Hurt" by Rob Nel

The Hurt

If you lead I might follow
If you stumble I might fall
If tears run down your face
I will know that you are hurt

If today could be tomorrow
If love could be bought
If you could read a book backwards
I will know that you are hurt

If the centre could be the outside
If a high could be a low
If my eyes could see behind me
I will know that you are hurt

If planes could drive on freeways
If Jupiter was the moon
If my hand could cover America
I will know that you are hurt

If your soul could be entered
If thieves would sleep at nightfall
If winter rains turned cold and warm
I will know that you are hurt

If Christmas turned up in June
If my thoughts reflected in footprints
If all my dreams turned into nightmares
I will know that you are hurt
