I would if I could 1


 

I would if I could

1

 

 

I would if I could, take your place

 

Lie down in a hospital bed

 

And surrender

 

Let the surgeon’s knife

 

 Cut me open

 

For it is much easier for me

 

To experience the pain

 

To live the pain

 

Than watch you hurt

 

Even with a pin prick

 

 

I would if I could, take your ache away

 

Hide you

 

Protect you

 

Keep you out of harm’s way
