Then and only then
In your haste you left and said you'd be returnin'
In my sorrow I forgot to ask you when
In my lonely room I sit and count the hours
Every minute hopin' I'll look up and you'll come walkin' in
For then and only then will I stop cryin'
And this aching breaking heart of mine will mend
Not until I feel your arms around me will I be happy and I live for then and only then
[ steel ]
All that's left inside my heart is just your echo
And the tiny thread of hope to which I cling
But if I keep holding on maybe some day
You'll remember where you left me and come back for me again
For then and only then...We search for outside conclusions to questions we have inside
We search for logical solutions to problems we cannot hide
We hope and pray the curse of war will be undone
And that the world will be as one
But we can't change it on our own, it takes more
Chorus:
Then and only then can we live in perfect harmony
Only if and when we sacrifice our comfort for the least of these
Get together down on our knees and pray God give us peace
Then and only then
We need to stop looking on ourselves and look to the One who know all
He has the answers that can rebuild us, a foundation that will not fall
We hope and pray the curse of hate will be no more
But it may be different
At least we know what the power of prayer is for, let's unite
(chorus)
We know it's gonna take time to get it together, to follow it through
But if we try a little bit harder, just think what we could do
If we only knew
(chorus out)
