Lyrics

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE FOR ONE MORE BREATH OF INNOCENCE
FOR A SMILE THAT WASN’T TINGED WITH ALL THESE TEARS
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO LAY BEHIND THE HEAVINESS THAT’S AGED US WELL BEYOND OUR YEARS

IF IGNORANCE IS BLISS THEN WE MUST BE THE SUPER SAGES HOW COME WE HAVE TO BE SO WISE

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO SEE SOME TEARS OF HAPPINESS
INSTEAD OF FEAR AND ANGER IN YOUR EYES

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE FOR JUST A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING
HOW COME IT ALWAYS HAS TO BE SO HARD
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE FOR ONE MOMENT OF CERTAINTY
INSTEAD OF ALWAYS SEARCHING IN THE DARK

IF WE COULD PEEK AHEAD IN TIME WE COULD SAVE A LOT OF ANGUISH BUT THAT WOULD SPOIL ALL THIS FUN

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO KNOW THAT YOU’D BE WITH ME CHILD WHEN ALL THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING WAS DONE

I KNOW IN LIFE THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES
IT’S JUST A CHANCE WE KNOW WE ALL MUST TAKE WITH ONLY OUR FAITH TO GUIDE US
ALONG OUR WAY
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE

IF WE COULD PEEK AHEAD IN TIME WE COULD SAVE A LOT OF ANGUISH BUT THAT WOULD SPOIL ALL THIS FUN
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO KNOW THAT YOU’D BE WITH ME CHILD WHEN ALL THIS PAIN AND SUFFERING WAS DONE

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO SEE YOU
WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO SAVE YOU
