lyrics
What if I was born by another name
Would I sing these songs for you just the same
Would I tell you bout where I’ve been, lonely hearts and life for whatever the hell its worth
What if I had come from another womb
Would this voice I own choose to sing the blues
Would I find myself to weak or stand up and speak to defend my pleas
What if I was raised by another man
Would I still be singing the hardest I can
Would I ever dare to dream outside this web of self-esteem or let fear win
We’ve all got more to give than we think we got
There’s so much more to see than our eyes perceive
What if I were you and you were me
Of all the questions left to ask
What if I weren’t here at all, at all
What if I weren’t here at all
What if I was wed to another heart
Would my joy to sing begin to depart
Would I feel the need to seek or forever know to keep my only muse
What if I was living in another skin
Would my chance to sing fall short and thin
Would my patience persevere, rise above above the fear or let in get the best of me
What if I was taught to hate instead of love
Would I use these words to set myself above
Would I join hand in hand with the heart of gold band or never understand
Would I sing these songs for you just the same
Would I tell you bout where I’ve been, lonely hearts and life for whatever the hell its worth
What if I had come from another womb
Would this voice I own choose to sing the blues
Would I find myself to weak or stand up and speak to defend my pleas
What if I was raised by another man
Would I still be singing the hardest I can
Would I ever dare to dream outside this web of self-esteem or let fear win
We’ve all got more to give than we think we got
There’s so much more to see than our eyes perceive
What if I were you and you were me
Of all the questions left to ask
What if I weren’t here at all, at all
What if I weren’t here at all
What if I was wed to another heart
Would my joy to sing begin to depart
Would I feel the need to seek or forever know to keep my only muse
What if I was living in another skin
Would my chance to sing fall short and thin
Would my patience persevere, rise above above the fear or let in get the best of me
What if I was taught to hate instead of love
Would I use these words to set myself above
Would I join hand in hand with the heart of gold band or never understand
