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.

If I was a poet
All my love in burning words
I would show it
