[00:09.890]if i could
[00:12.640]i'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
[00:21.830]give you courage in a world of compromise
[00:30.290]yes i would
[00:35.387]if i could
[00:39.288]i would teach you all the things i've never learned
[00:47.417]and i'd help you cross the bridges that i've burned
[00:57.387]yes, i would
[01:02.347]if i could
[01:04.897]i would try to shield your innocence from time
[01:14.980]but the part of life i gave you isn't mine
[01:21.887]i've watched you grow
[01:25.698]so i could let you go
[01:35.270]if i could
[01:41.487]i would help you make it through the hungry years
[01:51.689]but i know that i can never cry your tears
[02:00.467]but i would
[02:04.800]if i could
[02:08.889]if i live
[02:16.640]in a time and place where you don't want to be
[02:25.500]you don't have to walk along this road with me
[02:34.790]my yesterday
[02:37.870]won't have to be your way
[02:47.850]if i knew
[02:52.840]i'd have tried to change the world i brought to you to
[03:01.790]and there isn't very much that i could do
[03:10.300]but i would
[03:16.670]if i could
