Lyric If I Was

If I was a better man

Would fellow men take me to their hearts?
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand

Tell me
would that alarm her?
I d never harm her at all.

If I was a soldier
captive arms I d lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I d sail to her.

If I was a wiser man

Would other men reach out and touch me?
If I was a kinder man
Dishing out love for a hungry world

Tell me
would that appease her? I want to please her again.

If I was a painter

I d paint a world that couldn t taint her.
If I was a leader

On food of love from above I would feed her.
If I was a poet

All my love and burning words I would show it.
If I was a lover

Her eyes in kisses I would cover.

Come here
my baby
oh
they can t touch you now

I ll keep you safe and warm
I ll never leave you at all.
Come here
my baby
oh
they won t touch you

Dishing up love for a hungry world
tell me
would that appease you?
I want to please you again.

If I was a soldier
captive arms I d lay before her.
If I was a sailor
seven oceans I d sail to her.
If I was a painter
I d paint a world that couldn t taint her.
If I was a leader
on food of love from above I would feed her.
