If you didn't come here via the previous page (i.e., through a Webring or a search), you might want to know what my song drawings are all about; read about them here.
Only If
This drawing did not quite come out as I'd have liked; I would have wanted to make it more graceful, but it is difficult to do that in a short period of time and with some markers and highlighters. This person is literally seizing the day. I find this a very inspirational song because it is about looking on the bright side when things are down. There are hearts in this picture, obviously there to symbolize love ("When there is love, then you look for the one"). And this person is flying like a bird (that's why the wings are there), in the sky (symbolized by blue paper). Only with love and effort and the will to succeed can you reach the sky. . . .
Only If--lyrics
When there's a shadow, you follow the sun.
When there is love, then you look for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who can fly.
Chorus:
If you really want to, you can hear me say
Only if you want to will you find a way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
Da da da da, da da da da da.
Da da da da, da da da da da,
Da da da da.
When there's a journey, you follow a star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can fly.
Chorus
Da da da da, da da da da da.
Da da da da, da da da da da,
Da da da da.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
(This sounds like nonsense but some people say it might actually be saying "Abandonnez-moi" which means "abandon me.")
Chorus
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme un oiseau d'aile,
D'aile...
(That sort of means "I will want to fly like a bird.")
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Chorus
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.
