If Only I Was
I stared into the crowd, hearts of many with open ears
My heart was pounding and I froze in my in my thoughts
The microphone stood idly by, and I felt as if my voice left me all at once
Paralyzed I felt my tounge begin to dance, and I sang
I sang my heart out, I sang with my soul
The crowd began to weep to my lyrics
A melody of a distant love awoke with in the air
I felt my lungs top to their peak as I sang the last few words
As a poet I pen to her, my one and only
I write to her beauty, her scent, her touch
Her smile drives my heart into overdrive and I speed in affection
If only I could be a singer I would sing to her song
I drown in my own flaws to see
I sing to choke on my own tears
Will I ever believe, will I ever sing
If only I could sing, I would sing her a song
