If Only


I waited for bluebirds to sing
but i hear blackbirds crow
I waited for bells to ring
but i heard
the silence of the night
and the wailing of the wind on an empty sky



Where there is land, is where i want to step.
To go places i've not seen, to see places i've not been.
But this journey is long and the lesson hard.
To appreciate the moment but not drown in it.
To move forward yet keep one foot back.
Caution thrown in the wind,
and comes back with a slap.

The tide grows strong,
I have to be firm.
Because even fishes drown in the sea.
Swing the mighty sword around,
Its blades will cut you one day.

The bird escapes from its cage.
Try as you may,
you cant catch it.
Freedom has a price to pay,
its you, its you i'm coming for one day.

You can banish all our pain
Along with cloudy days of rain.
You can turn around a derailed life
From colliding with a train.
You can turn one's life
To a thousand sweet refrains.

You can shower us with rays of sunshine,
Light and hope
When we have truly come
To the end of our rope.
You can make the sun rise and set
On distant shore.
You can provide us with the esteem and confidence
That we never had before.

You can raise us up to impossible heights,
From the lowest of depths.
You can inspire us to begin a journey of renewal
Of a thousand steps.

You can turn a lonesome and mundane day
Into a little fun.
You can make the despondent feel
that victory has been won.
You can turn a dark cloudy day
Into a bright, midday sun.

You can make a frisky puppy teach the old "new tricks"
You can make that same cuddly puppy warm the coldest of hearts
With a few wet and well placed licks.

You can make a loving child
Turn someone's tears to smiles,
You can spread your love and miracles
Over endless miles.
You can!

As you sit in silence,
Wondering why
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
Until your tears run dry.

When you've been hurt,
And can't believe what they've done
If you need someone to talk to
I'll be the one.

If a close friend hurts you,
And you don't understand
Remember I'm here,
I'll lend a helping hand.

Burdens are lighter when carried by two,
And I just want you to know
I'm here for you.

-baby - this is specially made for you. eventhough is not that good but jz wanna let u know, i ll always be here for you no matter what happens.

our love will never fade away.
