If Only I Could Sea

If only I could wake up from this endless sleep

I would run to the ocean with only bare feet

Tapping toes on salted shores

In hopes my feet would finally meet yours

If only I could fly in my sleep

I would soar through the sky finding you

We’d be two seagulls you and I

If only my mouth would not be shut

I would sing my song and truly live

Then together we would be

If only only I could wake from this endless night

I would paint brilliant rainbows to brighten up our skies

If my sleep would render my ears to listen

I would hear your heart and realize I was loved beyond reason

If only my eyes would open

My sun would rise

And give me vision

With love revealed it would be my guide

Expelling darkness and all the lies

Surrounded forever by endless colors

Oh my love, just believe

Wake up with me and take my hand

We will dance together barefoot in the sand

Knowing we’re ment to be

Endeavoring freedom

Together we’ll see

True love

Indefinitely
