What Would You Give?

from Lighthouse by Zanda Myrande

about

Faustian deals aren't what they used to be. Some thoughts on having one's time over again, and the reasons why we might want it.

lyrics

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE?

To take a different road, 
To set a different course,
To have again the time you've lost
And the strength you used to know.
To be a better soul,
To heal the hurts you caused,
To make good your early promise
And pay back the debts you owe.

CHORUS
What would you give?
If a stranger came to you,
Said "I can make your dreams come true,"
What would you give?
For a miracle of rare device
Could you ever meet the price?
What would you give?

To find another fate,
To choose another path,
To scale the utmost peak and then
To look down on those below.
To avenge yourself on those
Who used to point and laugh,
To repay the pain you suffered
And take your turn to crow.
CHORUS

BRIDGE
There's a reason why we only pass this way one time,
When we make or mar our lives for good or ill.
If we had another chance we'd only mess it up again;
If we didn't get it right first time, we know we never will...

So the gift is not for us
To have our time again,
To rewrite all our histories
Nearer to our heart's desire.
But the dream still haunts our minds
And the yearnings still remain,
For some entity to offer us
That to which we still aspire.
CHORUS

What would you give?

Zanda Myrande Westbury, UK

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.

Lives in Wiltshire and has better friends than she deserves. ... more
