David Taylor - If I Could

If I could answer all your questions
in one page or in one book,
I surely would.

If I could calm all your fears
in a cool spring of hope and love,
I surely would.

If I could take away the stone of remorse
sitting heavy in your heart,
I surely would.

If I could bring you a new beginning
with this dream a distant past,
I surely would.

If I could dispel all the unlit darkness
with a flame that never dies,
I surely would.

If you looked deep down within you
would you know,
you surely could?
