If it was up to me, I’d sing your name As my mother tongue. Let the sweet melody Echo through the ears Of old and young. If it was up to me, My national flag Would be your hair. My hand on my heart Mumbling the anthem when It waves through the air. If It was up to me, You’d stop the cursed wars With a smile or a wink. All the fighting cease and The red soaked ground Will turn into flowery pink. If it was up to me, The golden eyes are The sun at noon. Eyeliner is dusk. And when they shut, Here comes the moon. If it was up to me, You’d be the trees The oceans, stars & clouds. Cold summer breeze Hitting the bale faces Of the worshiping crowds. If it was up to me, You’d be the books, Butterflies, cities & art. Brushes of love, desire, Madness and dreams On my blank heart. If it was up to me, You’d be my miracle, My water and wine. The one and only wish Of this life is that You would be mine.

If It Was Up To Me
If it was up to me, I’d sing your name As my mother tongue. Let the sweet melody Echo through the ears Of old and young. If it was up to me, My national flag Would be your hair. My hand on my heart Mumbling the anthem when It waves through the air. If It was up to me, You’d stop the cursed wars With a smile or a wink. All the fighting cease and The red soaked ground Will turn into flowery pink. If it was up to me, The golden eyes are The sun at noon. Eyeliner is dusk. And when they shut, Here comes the moon. If it was up to me, You’d be the trees The oceans, stars & clouds. Cold summer breeze Hitting the bale faces Of the worshiping crowds. If it was up to me, You’d be the books, Butterflies, cities & art. Brushes of love, desire, Madness and dreams On my blank heart. If it was up to me, You’d be my miracle, My water and wine. The one and only wish Of this life is that You would be mine.
