[If I never Found You]
If I could fly, my wings would
lead me to you,
Even if I refusedFor your love is the wind
And it has me uncontrollably
movingIf I could swim, my body would
dive into you,
Even if I refusedFor your love is oceans deep
And it swollowed meLike a black hole in
the endless universe
It took me inLike medicine to my
poisoned heart
It was the antidoteFor one drop of your love
changed me
So that’s why I shine radiantlyLike the angel that you’ve
unlocked within me,
For I was a demon
Lost in the gifts of this
worldBut you wiped the sand out of
my eyes
And vanquished the blindness
in my heartIf I could dance, my feet would
lead me to you,
Even if I refusedFor your love is magnetic
And it's drawing me nearerIf I could sing, my voice would
bellow into your ears,
Even if I refusedFor you're simply astounding,
With your oceans deep loveThat I'm happily drowning in
For I'm not dying,
For I'm smiling,
Because your love saved meSo thank you with all of the blood
in my heart,
For it woke me up
For I was lostIn the comfort of the flames in
my hell,
That erupted out of my ex-lover's
mouthSo thank you with all of the air
in my lungs,
For keeping me safe
Through that stormFor in the solace of your caring
arms
I refuged
For they were healing the
wounds
All over meAnd if I never found you,
Baby I would still be lost;Lost in what I knew.
