IF

If there is a time
If there is a thought
If I had the confidence
I wouldn’t have gotten this far

If there is the past
If there is a lack of heart
If I had the talent of soul
Is there any more I would know?

If I were you
If you were me
Would we see the ebony world that Stevie sees?
If we could only live in those kinds of dreams?

If there was more time
If there was more thought
If there was more heart
I wouldn’t have stopped at this part
