If Only
June Cocó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An easy thought
And all the wars were shadows of the past While we are counting stars
An angel falls
Precious is the wish he made
Shine a light for everyone
Spread the word don't use no gun love's The key - it's not too late
Take the chance a brand new start
It's serious you better play the game
If only if only lovers won
If only if only lovers won
If only if only lovers won
It won't be long till arms are gone
Maybe I should forget, the Crown of Rule, The Scale of Truth, the Cross of Faith... They governed all our lives,
How men have warred
Through the Cross, the Crown, the swords, the Scales
Are these shadows lengthening
Without care I'm wondering
How long can we make it through the years
Tell me what they're fighting for
All the years and still there's war this killing It is such a shame
If only if only lovers won
If only if only lovers won
If only if only lovers won
It won't be long till arms are gone
Tell me what they're fighting for all the Years and still there's war why can't we Chase it away
If only if only
If only if only lovers won it won't be long
Till arms are gone
The lyrics to June Cocó's song "If Only" are a plea for peace amidst the chaos of war and violence. The opening lines call for a world free from conflict, where war is nothing but a distant memory. Against this backdrop of peace, the song's protagonist contemplates the fragility of life, represented by "counting stars" and "an angel falls". The fallen angel's "precious wish" is a last-ditch attempt to bring peace to a world marred by war and destruction.
The song then shifts its focus to the need for action in order to bring about peace. Cocó implores her listeners to "shine a light for everyone" and to "spread the word" of love without resorting to violence. The song's central message is encapsulated in the refrain, "If only if only lovers won", a call to arms for all those who believe in the power of love to overcome hate and violence. The final lines of the song are a reminder of the urgency of this message, as the prospect of a world without arms is tantalizingly close.
Overall, "If Only" is a stirring plea for peace set against the somber backdrop of war and violence. It is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope for a brighter future.

Maybe I should forget, the Crown of Rule, The Scale of Truth, the Cross of Faith...
Perhaps one should let go of the symbols and structures that have led to power struggles and conflicts
They governed all our lives
These symbols and structures have had a significant impact on society and culture
How men have warred, Through the Cross, the Crown, the swords, the Scales
Throughout history, men have fought using religious symbols, royal power, weaponry, and justice systems
Are these shadows lengthening
Is the influence of these symbols and structures growing or weakening?
Without care I'm wondering
With concern, I'm pondering on the consequences of their continued existence
How long can we make it through the years
How much longer can we survive in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous
Tell me what they're fighting for
Questioning the motivations behind wars and conflicts
All the years and still there's war this killing It is such a shame
Despite the passage of time, violence and death continue to occur and it's a tragic reality
Why can't we Chase it away
Why can't we get rid of the underlying factors that lead to war and violence?
If only if only
If only things were different
If only if only lovers won it won't be long
If only decisions and actions based on love won, war would soon become a thing of the past
Till arms are gone
Until weapons are no longer necessary or used
