If You Knew

If you knew life is just a thought
Would you let it dissolve and live forever?
If you knew life is always giving
Why would stand in line waiting?
And if you knew none stand in your way except yourself
Love is all that's real, would you spend any of your time hating?
And if you knew love's mind is on mine
Would you make room for negative thoughts?
If you knew the voice of love wants to speak through you
Would you let dagger-like words pass through your lips?

If you knew love's truth is the leader
Would you the follow the ways of secrecy and fear?
If you knew vanity was a seed
Would you plant it in your garden?
If you knew your mind as a garden
Would you be careful of the tools you used?
Would you pull the weeds of discontent
Plant the seeds for peace
And when they grew, would you take a hold of faith, dedicate a resolution?
And for every obstacle, there will be a hopeful solution

If you knew behind every tear, there's laughter
Could you ever see yourself failing?
Love is workin' through us all
It's breaking walls
It's forming a new space in your heart
And if you knew all hearts are one heart
Would you look outside yourself for proof
When the breath of God poured itself into everything
It did not forget you
Did not forget you

Child, if you knew why flowers grow toward the sun
And the purpose behind the moon and stars
Could you ever see yourself as alone or separate somehow?
And if you knew the words "love" and "God" were the same
And our flesh is made of that spirit
It's flowing through your bloodstream now
It's giving energy to every cell
If you knew all time is now, would you worry about tomorrow?
Why pay attention to the sorrow if you knew that is total power?
Would you strive to dictate or control?
You know you're not the doer
It's what He is through your ears

When will you open up your eyes
Or take a look through your mind's eye?
See this universe is a golden light
Someone's holding in the palm of their hand
Could you ever recognize that one is you?
Will you pay your lot and not complain?
'Cause every cloud will soon dissolve
When the breath of God poured itself into everything
It did not forget you
Did not forget you
