Where Would I Be
Where would I be, if my future I could see
Where would I be, if I were not to be
Where would I be, if I could see clear
Where would I be, if I had no fear
Where would I be, if you were around
Where would I be, if you stood your ground
Would I have, chosen a different road
Would I still, be carrying this heavy load
Would I have, had seen so much
Would I have, lived such luck
Would life had brought me, much fame
Would she have dropped me, to this very shame
Would my love, have loved me
Would they have cherished me
Would they have, let me down no more
Would they have, pointed me the same door
Would they have, shown me how to trust
Would they have, loved me with less distrust
Do you know, how it would be
Do you think, you can make me see
Do you know, what lot it takes
Do you think, one can know it all
Do you know, how easy it breaks
Do you think, I made a wrong call
Where would I be, if my future I could see
Where would I be, if I were not to be
