If
if I hear another siren
if I see another homeless man
if I know another orphan
I might die where I stand
if I’m shown what hunger is
if I hear another battered wife
if that’s a neglected kid
I won’t get past this night
I am overwhelmed
with this responsibility
I am disappearing
and too ashamed to scream
I am hoping for a change
and praying for a cure
if I say love will overcome
I must be sure
if you’re on your way out
if you’re looking for escape
if it’s a temporary fix
I will turn and walk away
if you think that I can save you
if you need someone who’s strong
if you want a happy trophy
you’ve read this girl all wrong
I am overwhelmed
with this responsibility
I am disappearing
and too ashamed to scream
I am hoping for a change
and praying for a cure
if I say love will overcome
I must be sure
if ignorance is bliss
than you’re gonna be alright
if you look the other way
you’ll never have to fight
if peace is my goal
and pride is my drug
I must be absolutely sure
before I proclaim the way of love.
