Long ago and far away
|
Before the world had come to this
|
I took for granted how my life would be
|
Assuming that my freedom would be free
|
Before these evening shadows fell
|
I reveled in the light of day
|
I rarely ever cried, my patience wasn't tried
|
And heroes never died
|
|
But if I had my way
|
Things would be different
|
Danger wouldn't come from a sky of blue
|
Choices would be clear
|
And Strangers would be kinder
|
Love a little blinder
|
As it saved the day
|
If I had my way
|
|
Every now and then it seems
|
We live our lives to such extremes
|
Racing all around, never homeward bound
|
Losing what we've found But if I had my way
|
Things would be different
|
No one would believe that a lie was true
|
Choices would be clear
|
And wisdom would be heeded
|
Warnings never needed
|
This is what Id pray
|
If I had my way
|
|
The milk of human kindness
|
Would seek us out and find us
|
and color all the words we say
|
|
And hearts would come alive
|
Instead of breaking
|
No one would believe
|
That a lie was true
|
Angels would appear
|
Children would be cherished
|
Hope would never parish
|
Faith would not betray
|
If I had my way
|
|

If I Had My Way
