If You Called

by Matthew Vitticore

I waited for someone

To tell me the truth

But no one stepped forward

So I asked you

I asked you

I crawled back

Into the belly of the beast

Me the damsel

You the hero

You the hero

And somewhere down the line

I could be the one

For you

I may have to prove

In a battle to the death

For the world’s definition

Of success

And somewhere down the line

I could be the one

(For you)

On the open sea

I saw Edmund

I saw Eugene

I saw Mary

I saw my parents

I saw my brothers

In the same dream

And somewhere down the line

I could be the one

For you
