song of the day: "if i had it all."


sometimes i can't move my feet it seems
as if i'm stuck in the ground somehow like a tree
as if i can't even breathe
all the screams that come whispering out

as if nobody can even see me
like a ghost sometimes i can't see myself
sometimes...

then again

if i were a king, if i had everything
if i had you, and i could give you your dreams
if i were giant-sized, on top of it all
then tell me what in the world would i sing for
if i had it all

sometimes i feel lost as i pull you out like strings of memories
wish i could weave them into you
and i could figure the whole damn puzzle out

then again

if i were a king, if i had everything
if i had you and i could give you your dreams
if i were giant-sized, on top of it all
then tell me what in the world would i go on for
if i had it all

i could take anything
if i had no greed to bring
only the poison that's tainting the clean

remembering times much younger than me now
when my breath was light
when world raised me up kind

here mother comforts child
every moment was waking up
but now i've grown tired

if i had all..you know, i'd f*** it up.

if i were a king, if i had everything
if i had you and i could give you your dreams
if i were giant-sized, on top of it all
then tell me what in the world would i sing for

if i were a king, if i had everything
piece by piece if i had you and i could give you your dreams
if i were giant-sized, on top of it all
then tell me what in the world would i go on for
if i had it all

if i had it all
if i had it all
