If I Were lyrics

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 a seed

and a little time is all you need.

You can see a flower grow,

from just a drop of water and a seed.

If I were a cloud, I would never send the rain.

If I were the sky, be blue again.

I know I’m just a man, I’m only a man.

And If I were the Lord, I would start again.

If I were the Lord, I would start again.
