If You Knew

If you knew life is just a thought Would you let it dissolve and live forever? If you knew life is always giving Why would stand in line waiting? And if you knew none stand in your way except yourself Love is all that's real, would you spend any of your time hating? And if you knew love's mind is on mine Would you make room for negative thoughts? If you knew the voice of love wants to speak through you Would you let dagger-like words pass through your lips? If you knew love's truth is the leader Would you the follow the ways of secrecy and fear? If you knew vanity was a seed Would you plant it in your garden? If you knew your mind as a garden Would you be careful of the tools you used? Would you pull the weeds of discontent Plant the seeds for peace And when the grew would you take a hold of faith, dedicate a resolution And for every obstacle there will be a hopeful solution If you knew behind every teenage laughter Could you ever see yourself failing? Love is workin' through us all It's breaking walls It's forming a new space in your heart And if you knew all hearts are one heart Would you look outside yourself for proof When the breath of God poured itself into everything It did not forget you Did not forget you Child, if you knew why flowers grow toward the sun And the purpose behind the moon and stars Could you ever see yourself as alone or separate somehow? And if you knew the words love and God were the same And our flesh is made of that spirit It's flowing through your bloodstream now It's giving energy to every cell If you knew all time is now would you worry about tomorrow? Why pay attention to the sorrow if you knew that is total power? Would you strive to dictate or control You know you're not the doer It's what He is through your ears When will you open up your eyes Or take care of through your mind's eye See this universe is a golden light Someone's holding it on the palm of their hand Could you ever recognize that one is you? Will you pay your lot and not complain 'Cause every cloud will soon dissolve When the breath of God poured itself into everything It did not forget you Did not forget you
