If Only I'D Been By Your Side
Mama if I’d known your were gonna die;
I would, I would have been a much, a much better child;
I would have done much better, better, better
I would have done much better, better, better
Father, if I known you could cry I;
I would have been more obedient
I would, I would have been a much, a much better child;
I would have done much better, better, better
I would have done much better, better, better
I would have spent more time acknowledging you
Daring the Constant faith
Denying it in your face
Seemingly torn, need to be reborn
Only I, only, only, only I been by your side
