If I Could Forget To Breathe

If I could forget to breathe

Forget to breathe entirely

It's happened down through history

And surely I could lose my head

Some night I could drink too much

And take it off and just forget

And I will learn all languages

I will speak in every tongue

From highnesses to savages

And to all beneath the sun

Someday I will paint the sky

I will build a ladder, make a roller

That could reach that high

And nothing that I do will pass

Everything I will and make and feel

And dream and know will last

I will rid the world of sorrow

Stop all wars and pain

I will tell you of tomorrow

As I rule the wind and rain

I can do it all it's true

But only when I've done all that

Oh will I turn away from you

Only when I've done all that

Oh will I turn away from you
