From Rob Gardner:

" 'If Only' is a song I wrote several years ago trying to express how I felt knowing that I had a talent, but not knowing how I should use it--longing for someone or some experience to clearly point out my path for me. Well, that still hasn't happened. Though I am a little more convinced today of what generally I should be doing with my talents than I was when I wrote the song, the specifics of how to accomplish that still hide mostly in the shadows. So the sentiment expressed in this song is still very relevant to me today, as I imagine it is to most people as we fumble our way through life trying to find our purpose. I thought it especially appropriate considering what we're trying to acomplish with the 'Lamb of God' film."

If Only
Music and lyrics by Rob Gardner

There are words I would say
If I knew of a way to explain how I feel
As I sit here today.

Oh the songs I would sing
If I knew how to bring you to tears at the melody
Ringing aloud in my ears.

And there are things I would do,
Yeah if I only knew how to take what I'm dreaming
And make it come true.

Nevermind I believe
That, as far as I see, I can do anything
That I want to achieve.

So, if only
I could know what it is that I'm here to do,
I would sing out a song that would right all my wrongs,
Oh, if only...

There are things I would write
If the day would stay night long enough to complete
What is haunting my sleep.

And the things I would say
Would unravel a way to explain how I feel
As I sit here today.

So, if only
I could know what it is that I'm here to do,
I would sing out a song that would right all my wrongs,
And oh!
If I could know what it is that I'm here to do,
I would write out a symphony that would deliver me home.
I would sing out a song that would right all my wrongs,
Oh if only...
