If
If I could take away
the pain in your eyes
and replace it with Joy
I would.
If I could take away
the darkness in your heart
and replace it with light
I would.
If I could take away
your useless arm
and replace it with a healthy one
I would.
If I could take away
your stumbles and falls
and give you back balance
I would.
If I could take away
your frailty
and give you strength
I would.
If I could take away
your despair
and give you hope
I would.
But for now
I will hold your hand,
Tell you Im here,
Show you I understand.
For once, the pain
was in my eyes,
and now its in yours
It shouldnt be this way.
And If I could take away
that pain in your eyes
and fill them with Joy
I would.
