If I Were Lyrics

Richard Cocciante If I Were

If I were a flame
I would set the world on fire
If I were the wind
I would blow it away
If I were the water
I would flood the fields and towns
Killing life everywhere
Destroying mankind

If I were a flower
Here I'd never show my face
If I were the snow
I'd cover this place
If I were the sun
I would turn my back and run
Killing life everywhere
Destroying mankind

Just a drop of water and the sea
And a little time is all we need
You can see a flower grow
From just a drop of water and the sea

If I were a cloud
I would never send the rain
Or if I were the sky
Be blue again
I know I'm just a man
I'm only a man
But if I were the Lord
I would start again
If I were the Lord
I would start again
