If, Then Can
If rays of light refract, rend rainbows,
then surely I can make a change
If salmon somehow stagger homeward,
surely I can stay the course
If men have trekked the might of mountains,
surely I can rise above
If Christ, crucified, still cometh,
then surely I can learn to love
Surely I can learn to love, to live, and then let go
To leave this world, last breath a laugh, if anything at all
If anything at all, I can surely make a stand
Surely if, and only if, surely then I can
If forest, frayed from flame finds flourish,
then surely I can start again
If Hebrew hearts have healed of Hitler,
surely I can lick the wounds
If Universe, yet yieldlessly yonder,
surely I can further shove
If two still stay true, through test of time,
then surely I can learn to love
Surely I can learn to love, to live, and then let go
To leave this world, last breath a laugh, if anything at all
If anything at all, I can surely make a stand
Surely if, and only if, surely then I can
If sinner, stained to soul sees salvation,
then surely I can now atone
If carbon can compound and create the Cosmos,
surely I can build from this
If every entity's ever evolving,
surely I can fit the glove
If Ghandi, godly, gave til his grave,
then surely I can learn to love
Surely I can learn to love, to live, and then let go
To leave this world, last breathe a laugh, if anything at all
If anything at all, I can surely make a stand
Surely if, and only if, surely then I can
