If Only

If only I have a courage 
To face my fears at night

If only I have a courage
To speak what’s in my heart 

If only I meet a stranger
With smile on my face

If only I face the danger
With beauty and the grace

If only I see the future
And know what’s there for me

If only I see tomorrow
If only I could see

If only I see the sky
Without any fright
	
If only I see the stars
Twinkling above so bright

If only I see your soul	
The secrets you hiding there
                                                
If only I see your eyes
Blue like the sky and rare   

If only I see your heart
To see what’s there for me

If only I see tomorrow
If only I could see
