Only If
Do your best and ride the crest
Make of it what you can
No one kicks the pulling mule
And no one asks the man
He’s left alone
To pull himself apart
Loneliness just ain’t a case
Of being on your own
The man he walks to pastures new
To find that nothing’s grown and breathes a sigh
And smiles at time
A friend without a lie
Only if
This time would split
The place remains
But the faces change
Only if
I could find some sleep
I’d dream of strength
And save the weak
I’d dream of strength
And save
He works the fields with blistered hands
His efforts are in vain
Before you grow you need to sow
That golden seed of change but it never comes
Approaching from the front
He thumbs through leaves and photographs
Of lives he once endured
And even though the water fills his eyes
He’s rest assured and breathes a sigh
And smiles at time
A friend without a lie
Only if
This time would split
The place remains
But the faces change
Only if
I could find some sleep
I’d dream of strength
And save the weak
I’d dream of strength
And save
All seasons pass
Streaming by
Beat through his heart, knowing
All would roll him by
All ends produce
Loneliness just ain’t a case
Of being on your own
The man he walks to pastures new
To find that nothing’s grown and breathes a sigh
And smiles at time
