If I - Richie Havens

If I could tell a story, what secrets I would tell

Of those who have gotten the glory

And those who went to hell

If I could show the pictures

Of the faces I believed

They’d all be children smiling

With nothing up there sleeves

I’d remember ever detail, I’d remember every flaw

And every time we failed to open every door

If I could change the ending, no one would ever lose

Id keep this road from bending, no one should have to choose

We walked this line together, then share what can share

Then we’d all do this forever, then that should get us there
