If only swords could kill the words
  That anger rides in stealth
    Then maybe pain would never be
      And maybe peace could share its wealth

  But only if it could

If only calm were waking seas
  That feeling sails and thoughts make rough
    Then maybe hurt would never be
      And maybe joy could be enough

    But only if it could

But these things are not that simple
So say the self-told lies
The things we have and have not said
Are locked away inside our eyes

If only rage could burn the words
  That can’t be taken back
    Then maybe doubts would never be
      And maybe truth could be enough

    But only if it could

If only love could soothe the seas
  That roil torrid currents deep
    Then maybe hate would never be
       And maybe peace could be enough

    But only - if only - it would.
