If I Could Lyrics
There's no reason for you to lose your mind,
'Cause I've seen something,
That's gonna change our time.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Ah...
There's no hurry,
It's gonna come for sure,
'Cause I know that someday,
We're gonna end our war.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Yes, I'd stay, and if I...I...
If I could I would now.
Oh my baby, oh baby...
And if I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, then I'd make you understand.
There's no reason for you to lose your mind. (Seal&Joni)
'Cause I've seen something that's gonna change our time. (Seal&Joni)
If I..... could if I..... could and if I..... could.... (Seal)
...If I could ...if I could if I could.... (Joni)
Oh oh, oh hoah whoah oh, oh oh oh, oh... (Seal)
...if I... (Joni)
If I could... If I could... (Joni)
If I could... Woah, oh, oh, oh oh... (Seal)
If I could I would now baby.
If I could I would.
I would... (Joni)
If I would I could now.
'Cause I've seen something,
That's gonna change our time.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
There's no hurry,
It's gonna come for sure,
'Cause I know that someday,
We're gonna end our war.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Yes, I'd stay, and if I...I...
If I could, then I'd make you understand.
'Cause I've seen something that's gonna change our time. (Seal&Joni)
...If I could ...if I could if I could.... (Joni)
...if I... (Joni)
If I could... Woah, oh, oh, oh oh... (Seal)
I would... (Joni)
If I would I could now.

I love this song, though it's not as "intensive" as many other seal-songs. I think this song is about a couple. They've been fighting for some time and they are in separate rooms and they're thinking about divorce and stuff. But I think that in the end (the song's climax part, when Joni joins Seal) they forgive each other.
on a different level its about human race and the war within and without, but the lyrics speak of something he has seen that is beyond war and fighting, internally or externally, and if only he could share it with others, they would understand - conflict is unnecessary. its like he has had a spiritual awakening
