If you come softly
Footfalls silent through the trees
If you come softly
Undaunted by the brush of the leaves
If you let lost ones lie
Let words said spread bare in the breeze
If you can hush howls
Quiet din and bring clamor to its knees
If you can comfort
Hold shaking bodies and appease
If you come softly
Come, come to me
