Lyrics -IF I COULD 

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 

OH, 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 could do 
But I would 
If I could
