[00:12.14]If I could
[00:16.84]I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
[00:26.04]Give you courage in a world of compromise
[00:34.47]Yes, I would
[00:38.96]If I could
[00:43.82]I would teach you all the things I've never learned
[00:52.81]And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
[01:01.41]Yes, I would
[01:06.02]If I could
[01:10.79]I would try to shield your innocence from time
[01:20.06]But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
[01:28.68]I've watched you grow, so I could let you go
[01:43.30]If I could
[01:48.81]I would help you make it through the hungry years
[01:57.83]But I know that I could never dry your tears
[02:06.92]But I would if I could
[02:19.34]Yes, if I live
[02:25.37]In a time and place where you don't wanna be
[02:34.73]You don't have to walk along this road with me
[02:43.68]My yesterday won't have to be your way
[02:58.39]If I knew
[03:03.47]I would try to change the world I brought you to
[03:12.95]And there isn't very much that I could do
[03:22.38]But I would if I could
[03:32.88]Oh baby
[03:35.75]Daddy wants to protect you
[03:40.34]And help my baby through the hungriest
[03:46.91]'Cause you're part of me
[03:49.39]And if you ever ever need
[03:54.75]Said a shoulder to cry on
[03:59.67]Or just someone to talk to
[04:03.40]I'll be there, I'll be there
[04:08.24]I didn't change the world
[04:18.15]But I would if I could
[04:27.72]Oh darling, I love you baby
