Don't Ask Me If I Can't

I can bury my jewel
In the save of the wind
I can break a mountain with an egg
I can cross the oceans with a single stroke
I can fix my feast on the sun
I can pick those stars
Scattered across the sky
I can tame the devil by the horn
Don't ask me
Can you "can" the "can't" that you can?

Men once touched the moon
With the soles of their feet
Once party on the glades of Everest
Survived under the weight of Pacific
Crossed the earth in their iron birds
The "can't" of the dawn of time
Are now ridiculed
By fists of the close of age

My answer to your question will be
I can't say I can't while I can't
Though it may sound so insensible
But great things always come wrapped
In the strand of many impossibilities

Everyone must therefore make a choice
Of I can't, of I can
