from a mother’s heart
February 4, 2007If 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
that I never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges
that I burned
Yes, I would
If I could, I would try to shield
your innocence from time
But the 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 can never cry your tears
But I would, if I could
If I lived in a time and place
where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk
along this road with me
My yesterday won’t have to be your way
If I knew, I’d have tried
to change the world that I brought you to
But there isn’t very much that I can do
But I would, if I could….
