The bottles are all empty, the potion?s gone   Powers promised like the dawn, it just won't carry on   I leave the empties on the doorstep, to be filled by time   Is he a wizard or a teacher? Is she a friend of mine?      I left a note and signed with haste   Give me a packet of peace to taste   And if you're willing, an extra crate   Of any power to combat hate      'Cause though I heard that hate brings pain   And I need love to take the strain   A parcel of extra blessing   To keep my days from guessing      Oh teach me   The words won't turn the way I ask them   Oh reach me   Show faces true before I pass them      And all the world is out of key   And it shrinks inside me   So many faces to be friends   When all the madness ends      I'll leave my mind beneath the mat   So you can let yourself in   If you can stand the mess then stay   But I'm not entertaining      I feel the richness of our days   Are like smoke to hold   I'd make a paper heart to love you   If I knew where to fold      But I must sit and just keep trying   Until I see the shape I seek   Because I must learn to sculpt the strength   For everyday that I'm weak      Oh teach me   The storms won't turn the way we aim them   Oh reach me   The dreams grow wild before we tame them
