If I Could
I´d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes I would
If I could

I would teach you all the things I´ve never learned
And I´d help you cross the bridges that I´ve burned
Yes I would
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 can never cry your tears
But I would
If I could
If I live in a time and place where you don´t wanna be
You don´t have to walk along this road with me

My yesterday won´t 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 can do
But I would
If I could
