If I Was 歌詞

The light of day is fading To bid the darkness in When empty smiles can never hide the hollowness within My thoughts race by like the scene outside Through the windows of the train I could cover my eyes but never hide From the promises I made If I was a better man Or a poor man or a king Would I have the strength to start again Walk the path that called to me Somewhere out there waiting Is a place where I'll know peace Calling out and beckoning Be I a poor man or a king The station long departed My fate entrusted to the rails No certain destination Except the life I'll hope to make But were the choice presented Couldn't relinquish or bequeath The walls I built around the truth I closely guard within If I was a better man Or a poor man or a king Would I have the strength to start again Walk the path that called to me Somewhere out there waiting Is a place where I'll know peace Calling out and beckoning Be I a poor man or a king Give me your hand Take your place here next to me Let us walk this road together No matter where it leads Put aside your burdens Put away your fears Or I'll carry them as I'd carry you Until the very end Somewhere out there waiting Is a place where we'd know peace That calls to us That beckons us The place where we'd be free Put aside your burdens Put away your fears I'd carry them as I'd carry you 'Till the very end Put aside your burdens Put away your fears I'd carry them as I'd carry you Until the very end Somewhere out there waiting Is a place where we'd know peace Calling out and beckoning A place where we'd be free
