Lyrics
If It Wasn’t For You
We were drawn together
by a love so safe and strong
both in need of someone
to share and hear our song
Two souls becoming one
our search for love was done
now our hearts were safe to open naturally
And if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in California
Wouldn’t na walked along the path of the redwood trees
Or seen the sun set over Mount Diablo
I’m so thankful that your love has set me free
If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be in Carolina
stuck in a rut still trying to find out who I am
you threw me a lifeline and helped me out to freedom
I’m so thankful, that God sent you to this man
Oh, how our paths are so blessed
by the angels of the light
sometimes it’s a loving partner
who is willing to give their life
It might even be a stranger
that we meet while were at work
but the angels we don’t recognize
until Love heals the hurt
We tried to make it last
but knew it had to end
never had a doubt
that we would still be friends
We set each other free
you sacrificed for me
now our journey would continue separately
And if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in California, Aw yeah
Wouldn’t na walked along the path of the redwood trees
Or seen the sun set over Mount Diablo
I’m so thankful that your love has set me free
If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be in Carolina
stuck in a rut still trying to find out who I am
you threw me a lifeline and helped me out to freedom
I’m so thankful that God sent you to this man
And if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be in California
Wouldn’t’ na had my heart opened exponentially
wouldn’t’ na known it was in me to write and sing this song
Or moved in new ways to help humanity
Or moved in new ways to help humanity
We were drawn together
by a love so safe and strong
both in need of someone
to share and hear our song
Two souls becoming one
our search for love was done
now our hearts were safe to open naturally
And if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be in California
Wouldn’t na walked along the path of the redwood trees
Or seen the sun set over Mount Diablo
I’m so thankful that your love has set me free
If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be in Carolina
stuck in a rut still trying to find out who I am
you threw me a lifeline and helped me out to freedom
I’m so thankful, that God sent you to this man
Oh, how our paths are so blessed

Or moved in new ways to help humanity
Or moved in new ways to help humanity
