If I Only Had My Way

from Meditations in an Emergency by Liz McBride!

lyrics

Even through the pain of a wasted day I’ll say, “If I only had my way…”
I would stop all time, not to make you mine or even whine.
To find solace in no sound is what I need.

I’m seeing through all ill-conceived concepts of our time;
it’s things, not purpose, we’re keen on moving toward.

I’ll take it in stride, not turning a blind eye or even say, “If I only had my way…”
The stopping of all time is neither fair nor right, so I must try
to be conscious of myself in thought!

In seeing through all ill-conceived concepts of our time…
The age is written, we have all that we need—but we still want more.

In the morning when I rise, I hope I have new strength in mind by thinking,
“This could be a way…”

To be right’s unnecessary—secondary—to the life I’ll come to know in time!
