If I could

If I could

I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes

Give you courage in a world of compromise

If I could
I would teach you all the things I've learned
and I'd cross the bridges that Ive burned


If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you grow, so I could let you go


If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
but I know that I could never cry your tears
but I would
If I could

Yes if I live
in a time and place where you don't want to be
you don't have to walk along this road with me
my yesterday wont have to be your way.

If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I could do
but I would
if i could

Oh Baby
I just want to protect you
and help my baby through he hungry years
cause you're part of me
and if you ever ever every need
I said a shoulder to cry on
or just someone to talk to
Ill be there, Ill be there

I didn't change your world
but I would
if I could.
