If

If the World only knows...
It will see me as I am
If the World only knows...
It will feel me as I am

I asked myself once, "Who am I?"
I turned around and tell the World
"If you know me, you don't have to ask why?"
I walked around and was seen by the World 

I closed my eyes for the World to hear me
I opened my eyes for the World to love me
I closed my eyes for the World not to judge me
I opened my eyes for the World to accept me

If the World will ask something of me
I am willing to offer it
If I can bring out the best in me
I would be honored to give all of me

If the World possesses everything within its reach
What more can I offer, except my endless care
  out of my own reach?
Then the World said, "Without You,
  there will be no more ifs"
"... I only exist because of ifs
  and your soul's whiffs"
