If Only

If only
I could TELL you
what lives within this soul
I'd empty out my heart
of broken dreams from old
I'd tell you of the pain
and share with you my joy
If only I could tell you
things harbored since a boy!

If only
I could OPEN
the kingdoms of my heart
I'd take you on a tour
of every hidden part
I'd turn on every lamp
UNlock every door
pull back all the curtains
I'd want to show you more!

If only
I could TAKE you
right inside my heart
Maybe YOU could help me
unlock that loving part!
I'd show you where it hurts
tell you why I'm lonely
If ONLY
I could tell you
If only Lord
if only!
