hand - off (for alexis)

by jason delph - Cancer

i wish that i could somehow hand you the world,
that i could somehow give you
everything and anything you want or need,
that i was some kind of superman,
some kind of magician.
i wish that i had omnipotent unlimitedness,
so that i could open reality 
and let you walk through to other realms,
so that i could show you what 
you are to me... something unreal, something
too perfect to be given to me.
i wish i could somehow hand you the world,
and brush away any heartache you've ever known,
any heartache you will ever know,
that i could kiss your lips and inhale the pain
from your insides, lighten you so that
you could float with the clouds and
fly with the birds.
i wish i could give you everything sweet
and take away anything sour.
i wish i could somehow hand you the world.
