If Only...

Looking for the answers, but I don't have the questions
And I've got love to give, can you give me some, some direction?
In my reflection, I am lost, and I'm asking what's the cost
Of this life that I'm living, yeah, tell me,
mamma, am I taking more than I'm giving? I'm giving

I'm living for the things that the people say
'Cause I can't seem to find a way to break away, away
Far from the path that they gave me,
I'ma walk the path that I, I believe, I believe

I can break free, yeah you won't find me,
I'ma live for the love of the life that I breathe
I'ma break free from the fruit of the poison
tree and live my life the way I want it to be

I'm just trying to find my path but every time I do the math
All the numbers they don't add and the people live in fads
But they tell me not to worry while they're living in a hurry
But I'm dying at the sight of the life that we're livin'

And I know you want to tell me that the things I say are wrong
Hit the gong and awake me from my slumber from this song
So I go back into hiding, watch the world keep on dividing
I'm just looking for a path to save me from the fighting

And I'm lost again, scared I'm not trying
What's the cost, my friends, of leaving Mother Earth dying?

So, can you help me find the way, help me live and pray
The day we come together,
We can live without the pressure of the fighting, no dividing
We're uniting in
The love of each other,
and our mothers, and our fathers, sisters, brothers say

Can you help me find the way, help me live and pray
The day we come together we can live
without the pressure of the fighting, no dividing
We're uniting in the love of each other,
and our mothers, and our fathers, sisters, brothers say

If only it was so simple, and if only it was true, true
Things wouldn't be broken, and all our love would show, show through
