If language should go

If language should go the other way,
I reckon I know what it would say:
sun to galaxy, star to moon,
tomorrow is yesterday, now is soon.
If money is mother, then father is dead,
notice the sign once you've banged your head.
You only grow when you're in the ground,
you learn to speak when you can't make a sound.

When up is around and down is through,
take great care of last century's truth.
None of it's yours, it will never be mine,
all of it's owned by the lie of time.

If  presence of fear is the absence of you
just open your hand: there's the cosmic glue.
The dance is the plan, there's no floor at all:
we drift across to another hall.
But there the music is not what we like
so we keep on searching throughout the night.

Moon to finger, sunset to birth
and nothing at all to planet Earth.
Mother to meaning, daughter to wedding,
father arriving and maid to bedding.

So from is for never and go is stop.
R is for random and H is for hop.
L is for learning and Z is for gravy
B is for finding the shade of the navy.

If language would go the other way,
I think I know what it should say.
M is for meaning and S for escape,
T for breaking the winner's tape.

If language could go the other way
I have no doubt what it would say.
