IF ONLY WE COULD

If only we could
Truly express ourselves
If only we could
We could finally escape
The grasp that’s held
On our hearts
If only we could
Say what we wanna say
If only we could
do what we wanna do
Then we could escape
These false lives
That we all live
This is the time
This is the place
It’s the here and now
Its time to raise
Your head and your voice
Its time to be seen and heard
For what we really are
If only we could
Be seen and heard
If only we could
Be who we wanna be
Then we could
We could always be
Looking forward
Instead of looking back
At our painful pasts
And then we could
Lift this heavy burden off our shoulders
