Go Spread Wings - John Agard

If I be the rain

you the earth

let love be the seed

and together

make we give birth

to a new longing

for harmony growing

among all things

and love go spread wings

love go spread wings

If I be a tree

clinging to parch earth

this time you will be the rain

and love the wind

taking we by the hand

showing the way

to new awakenings

among all things

and love go spread wings

love go spread wings
