If feelings were true

If feelings were true and told no lies
If thoughts could always show me how
If words could solve every mystery
Then I know that I'd be free by now
If I could coax my mortal flesh
To somehow bend to my command
To dance to every tune that's played
And refuse to move from where I stand
If feelings were true and told no lies
If fools could live on bread alone
No doubt of silly compromise
Indeed every bite would turn to stone
Who can play a tuneless song?
Who can build on the waters edge?
Everyone will fall to silence
After every word has been said
If feelings were true and told no lies
Every problem would bear a solution
Yet here we stand, eyes closed, tears hot
Floundering about in utter confusion
Seek what you will, but all seek in vain
Salvation is found in once place alone
When the foolish desires are laid to rest
And weary eyes are turned towards home
The Father is calling, lay down all guns
Peace is found in unfailing love
Thoughts must all be cast aside
In the end they will never be enough
