If Only Lyrics - Oconnor Hazel

What do you do when they turn on the light? 

You guard your heart, so they steal your sight 

You reach out in blindness, touch the alone 

Its icicle fingers chill you to the bone 

What do you do when the cat gives her tongue? 

No way to tell it's all going wrong 

Now that the words are locked in the phone 

Nobody answers, nobody's home 

What's done has been done, and I won't be the one 

Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only" 

No, I'll stand up again and I'll run 

I'll jump up till I touch the sun 

Because I won't be the one to be bound 

By the sound of "If only, if only, if only" 

Well, I reach out in blindness now, but what do I care? 

I'll walk into walls and I'll stumble downstairs 

I'll laugh like a fishwife, I'll cry like a clown 

Up is the only way to go when you're down 

When I reach a mountain top, then I start to climb 

I'll walk on the water, I'll turn water to wine 

Hope is the one thing we got on our side 

Hope can be salvaged when all else has died 

What's done has been done, and I won't be the one 

Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only" 

No, I'll stand up again and I'll run 

I'll jump up till I touch the sun 

Because I won't be the one to be bound 

By the sound of "If only, if only, if only" 

What's done has been done, and I won't be the one 

Who despairs in the wheelchair, resigned to "If only" 

No, I'll stand up again and I'll run 

I'll jump up till I touch the sun 

Because I won't be the one to be bound 

By the sound of "If only, if only, if only"
