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
