If Only

IF ONLY
(Daniel Lima)

I wonder what it is that they’ve been
whispering at night
I wonder what it is that they’ve been
planning for so long

I wonder what’s inside their heads
I wonder what’s around their mouths
we’re lighting up the candles
and they’re blowing them out

There is no certainty
there will never be
there is no fixing, you might just forget about

There is no decency
there will never be
there is no fixing, there’s no way out

If only warnings could avoid them
if only laughter could defy

I wonder what it is that they’ve been
singing in the dark
I wonder what it is that they’ve been
drinking for so long

There is no certainty
there will never be
there is no fixing, you might just forget about

There is no decency
there will never be
there is no fixing, there’s no way out

If only warnings could avoid them
if only laughter could defy
if only hymns could make me holy
if only hell could make me cry
