If
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
For you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
And now you've left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die.
If it was right to be believing,
and write his name in blood
and then I met him when I died,
well I'd have it out with god
but if it means
degrading scenes
and sanctioning crusade
I'd know we couldn't stand man to man
without feeling afraid
If it was wrong for not believing,
in fairytale facade
and then I met him when I died,
well I'd apologise to dog
But if it meant
I went down on my knees
well where's the spirit gone
where's the love you're all talking of
when you can't stand man to man?
Man to man
When you can't stand man to man.
I find it hard to believe,
in these 'gospels' that I've heard
the forked tongue of the bible belt,
the ayatollah's word
I don't believe most anything
spoken by anyone
as hell's fanatic paranoids
fire heaven's loaded gun
If it was right to be believing,
then it must be in this
that difference is beautiful,
and living it is bliss,
there are no teams
there is no side
that life on earth is done
by living the love you're only talking of
by standing man to man
Man to man
07.If
If you could see me now
Id give to you what you have stolen
If you could see me now
If you could be me, If you could see me now (now)
Why aren't the faces hiding?
Your shadows always seem so cold
Be careful what you're finding
You feel so old
If you think I cried for you
It is only cause you asked me to
And it all becomes so clear
You're the one you fear
*If you could see me now
I'm terrified by this I've broken
If you could see me now
Everything that this unspoken
If you could see me now*
Your one who tell him empty
Pretending all is clear
So water tell him empty
You're the one you fear
*
I hear your stomach turning
You think that I am such a whore
And the flesh I'm giving
You want more
Like a soul kept on your shelf
But you keep it there for someone else
And it all becomes so clear
You're the one you fear
If you could see me now 3X
If you could be me, If you could see me
08.If
If I could have my way with you
I will make you fall sleep
And tell you every single thing
And both no is wrong with me
Tomorrow belongs to every one
And it's moving hopelessly
I lock the door and switch it off
Completely
If I could have you, have you...Completely! (2x)
If I could have you, have you...
09.If
If
If that's the way that it is (oooh)
If
If that's the way that it is
If we put our hearts together
And overcome our hesitation
We could join our love as one
And storm the gates of heaven
If the winds of change
Would blow in the favor of man
Resolve our situation
Undo the work of idle temptation
Oooh
The test of time
Oooh
Freedom will fly
If
If that's the way that it is
We gotta fight to live
If
If that's the way that it is
We gotta fight to live
If the tribes of Eden
Could find some common ground
We share in life and wisdom
And free our minds from prison
If there came a prophet
Could he lead us to the promised land
We gotta start talkin'
Gotta start talkin'
Yeah
Oooh
The test of time
Oooh
Freedom will fly
Runnin' out of time now
Come on like a holy war
Gotta fight to live
Struggle now
Fight to live
