If a Book Could Read

Lyrics:

Imagine if books could read
Imagine if they could see
If books could turn a page
And read another story

Oh the worlds
That open up
Oh the thoughts
And possibilities

If a tragedy could see
A comedy
A drama could see
Some poetry

If they could more than
Read each other
What if they
Could write?

What if they could learn
From other tales
And each change
Their own little plight?

What if they
Could ponder others
And shift
Their own convictions?

Imagine if books could read
Imagine if they could see
If books could turn a page
And read another story

The lessons
They could learn
The corrections
They could make

How they could broaden
Their horizons
How they could change
Their fates

Lesser stories
Could be made better
Bloated tales
Could become concise

Wisdom passing
From spine to spine
Knowledge becoming
More precise

These books could share
Their characters
Could fight
Each other’s villains

Could gather ’round
And celebrate
One another’s
Visions

They could write each other
Different endings
Could make their journeys
More interesting

Could share in ways
To make better sayings
Vibrant descriptions
Thoughtful meanings

Imagine if books could read
Imagine if they could see
If books could turn a page
And read another story

This would of course
Have some drawbacks
Some certain problems
And sorry circumstance

What of lesser literature
Defiling what is greater?
What of crass wastes of ink
Corrupting works of a master?

Timeless wisdom
Could be brought low
Thoughtful insights
Swapped for trash

There is the danger
It’s sure to happen
There will be tales
With ruined vision

What do you think?
Would it be fun?
Could the gain
Outweigh the ruin?

Imagine if books could read
Imagine if they could see
If books could turn a page
And read another story

We don’t need
To use imagination
After all these books
Are you and me
