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 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
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-I could do--
But I would
If I could
Oh baby
Daddy wants
to protect you
And help my baby
through the hungriest
'Cause your part of me
And if you
ever ever need
Said a shoulder
to cry on
Or just someone
to talk to
I'll be there
I'll be there
I didn't change-
your world
But I would
if I could
