If I could,
I’d rewrite history
I’d choose differently
If I could, I would
I’d leave out the part
Where I broke Your heart
In the garden’s shade
Fix the mess I made
If I could, I would
If I could
Close my eyes and then
Dance around again
If I could, I would
Be who You adored
Why did I need more?
When beauty was not trained
To hide behind my shame
If I could, I would.
Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can’t imagine how You could
See all of me and say it’s good
If I could
Hold one memory
It would surely be
How You walked with us
I’d go back in time
Untell my first lie
And let Love’s injury
Heal in spite of me
It is good. It is good.
You still love us more than we believed You could
Could there be something more?
Will it ever be the way it was before?
