lyrics

Wouldn’t You
Kent Agee/Joe Scutella

She fell down on her knees and said I’m begging please take me instead of him
With her hand placed on his head there in the darkness by the bed that he lay in
Whispering a mother’s prayer she held his hand and stayed right there the long night through
Well if I was the good Lord I would give her what she asked for, wouldn’t you

Wouldn’t you make it right
Wouldn’t you if you could
Wouldn’t you do what you could do to do a little good
Wouldn’t you, wouldn’t I
Change if we listened to
The voice inside us all that’s calling...wouldn’t you

Somewhere in the world out there another boy, another prayer another night
Lying silent with his gun, holding his breath, waiting on the coming fight
Through the courage of his youth wondering why a man must do the things we do
Well if I had to kill or die I think that I would ask why, wouldn’t you

(chorus)

Every day I see the chance to turn away or lend a hand somehow
To be honest I must say most times I take the easy way around....but

(chorus)
