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, a 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 could never cry your tears
But, I would if I could
Yeah, if I live in a time and place where you don't want to live
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
Oh baby, mummy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
It's a part of me
And if you ever, ever need, set of shoulder to cry on
I'm just someone to talk to
I'll be there, I'll be there
I didn't change your world
But I would if I could
