If.




If only I could

Find the answers anywhere

For what I feel


If only I could

Make myself to trust once more

I'd fight the world


If only i could

Put my faith in others' hands

I'd never seek prayers.


If only I could

If only I could

I would do anything to love again


I would not be feared

Of any disaster

In my way, if only I could


I would surrender

I would leave the petty social constructs

If only I could.


Leave the world behind

And dissolve my name in you

If only I could.


I'd do anything to love again

If only I could

If only I could


I'd say your name

As a prayer to be united

If only I could


I'd keep smiling through the death

To keep you

If only I could.


I would

Only if I could love again

And do anything.


If only I could

I would wait, shivering in cold

Just to hold your hands


If I could

I would justify your wrong

By doing wrong


When people need peace

They look at the sky and stars above

I'd look at you


Only if I could

I would do anything

Just to love you


Rivers would fight you

I'd turn the oceans around

Only for you


Only for you

I will destroy the life

That doesn't include you


If only

And only if I could

I would sink and burn for your love


Just to hear your voice

Just to make you real

I'll do anything


If only I could

The world would be in your feet

And the sky will rain diamonds.


The universe will revolve around you

Sand will write you name on it

If only I could


Only and only if

I could I would do anything

To love you


And have you

Love me back.
