If We Could Only – John Cehowski (Lyrics Below)
If we could only
Find a place to hide out
Just until the morning
Just until sunrise
Maybe then, tomorrow
Things will all be different
Things will all be better
In the new day’s light
If we could only
Find a place to run to
A place where there’s no anger
No fear, and there’s no pain
Maybe then, tomorrow
Things will all be different
Things will all be better
In the light of day
Make it go away, The Monster that hides in the shadows
Make it go away, The evil that lurks outside the door
Make it go away, The punishment by the protector
Make it go away, I don’t think we can take it anymore
If we could only
Find a sanctuary
A Haven from the madness
Of a world that’s gone insane
I pray that we will find one, and hope that it’s tomorrow
I pray that we will find one, Each and every day
