If I had a Song....

If I had a song I would sing it to you
If the words came easy, I know what I would do
Sing to you---all the night through---
If I had a song, I would sing it to you.

And in this song there would be a forest
Enchanted and lovely and lying before us
With paths to explore, and secrets to keep.
If I had a song, I would sing like a creek.


If I had a song I would sing it to you
If the words came easy, I know what I would do
Sing to you---all the night through---
If I had a song, I would sing it to you.

And in this song there would be fish that shine
With scales that glimmer like silver spun fine
Darting beneath the folds of the blue
If I had a song, I would catch one for you.

If I had a song I would sing it to you
If the words came easy, I know what I would do
Sing to you---all the night through.
If I had a song, I would sing it to you.

And in this song, there would be graceful deer
Grazing in beauty without any fear.
With eyes that reflect the morning like dew
If I had a song, I would show them to you.

If I had a song I would sing it to you
If the words came easy, I know what I would do
Sing to you---all the night through.
If I had a song, I would sing it to you.

And in this song there would be a wise owl
Perched in a hollow tree, while the wolves howl--
As mysterious as the harvest moon
If I had a song, I would sing you this tune.

If I had a song I would sing it to you
If the words came easy, I know what I would do
Sing to you---all the night through.
If I had a song, I would sing it to you.

And in this song there would be me and you
Marveling at what the Lord God can do
And even should this land turn cold and dark
We know he's still there---lighting a spark.

And when there are no more songs to sing
Should the words escape us, on fleeting wing
Still in the silence, He's there beside us
And everyone knows He doesn't need words to sing.
