Video of the Week: Linda Eder's If I Had My Way

If I Had My Way by Linda Eder Music by Frank Wildhorn, Lyrics by Jack MurphyLong ago and far awayBefore the world had come to thisI took for granted how my life would beAssuming that my freedom would be freeBefore this evening shadows fellI reveled in the light of dayI rarely ever cried, my patience wasn't triedAnd heroes never diedBut if I had my wayThings would be differentDanger wouldn't come from a sky of blueChoices would be clearStrangers would be kinderLove a little blinderAs it saved the dayIf I had my wayEvery now and then it seemsWe live our lives to such extremesRacing all around, never homeward boundLosing what we've foundBut if I had my wayThings would be differentNo one would believe that a lie was trueChoices would be clearWisdom would be heededWarnings never neededThis is what I prayIf I had my wayThe milk of human kindnessWould seek us out and find usAnd color all the words we sayAnd hearts would come aliveInstead of breakingNo one would believeThat a lie was trueAngels would appearChildren would be cherishedHope would never perishFaith would not betrayIf I had my way
