If I had all the answers I would tell you in the blink of an eye
If I had all the reasons, you would never again wonder why
If I had the strength to be myself… to let you be your own
If I had the power to hold you in my arms,
to shelter you from all the world
From all the ugliness and evil and broken dreams…
but we both know the answer to that…
‘If only’ is a wish, a dream, a hope, a faded thought
‘If only’ is what you whisper, before the damage of clarity is wrought
‘If only’ is what holds you close, and pushes you away
‘If only’ is the sword, the sheathe, the swathe that holds the blood at bay
‘If only’ is the answer to the question ‘why oh why?’
‘If only’ one day more in life, one day more to wonder why
We don’t really want the answers, we dont really want the truth
All we ever really want is a chance…
A chance to hope a chance to dream,
a chance to wonder what it means
so give me free will
and strength to deal
The answer to life is it is as it is
The answer to death is it happens
The answer to love is it is what we dream of
The answer to peace is it is but a dream
The answer to dreams is they are how we live
I can’t whisper more then hollow promises
I can’t kiss away more then fears
I can’t give you anything but my word
I can’t show you anything more than my tears...
