If you could hear pain
Ice would splinter
If you could hear truth
Song would swell
If you could hear life
It would be more than you could bear, and
If you could hear me
Maybe I could hear you
If you could touch pain
Frost would bite you
If you could touch truth
Frost would kill
If you could touch love
I couldn't help you, but
If you could reach me
Maybe I could reach you
Why, why
Can't we reach
The things that life
Can only teach
And cannot give
The things we live
For
If you could taste pain
It would burn hot
If you could taste truth
It would burn so cold
If you could tase everything
You might survive it, still
If you could hear pain
Ice would splinter
If you could hear truth
Song would swell
If you could hear life
It would be more than you could bear, and
If you could hear me
Maybe I could hear you
If you could touch pain
Frost would bite you
If you could touch truth
Frost would kill
If you could touch love
I couldn't help you, but
If you could reach me
Maybe I could reach you
Why, why
Can't we reach
The things that life
Can only teach
And cannot give
The things we live
For
If you could taste pain
It would burn hot
If you could taste truth
It would burn so cold
If you could tase everything
You might survive it, still
