Lyrics
WOULDN'T YOU
SHE FELL DOWN ON HERE KNESS AND SAID I'M BEGGING PLEASE TAKE ME INSTEAD OF HIM
WITH HER HAND ON HIS THERE, DARKNESS BY THE BED THERE HE LAID IN
WHISPERING A MOTHER'S PRAYER, SHE STAYED RIGHT THERE AND PRAYED THE LONG NIGHT THROUGH
AND IF I WAS THE GOOD LORD, I'D GIVE HER WHAT SHE ASKED FOR WOULDN'T YOU?
CHORUS)
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 NIGHT ANOTHER PRAYER
LYING SILENT WITH HIS GUN HOLDING HIS BREATH WAITING ON THE COMING FIGHT
THROUGH THE COURAGE OF HIS YOUTH HE'S WONDERING WHY MEN DO THE THINGS WE DO
AND IF I HAD TO KILL OR DIE, I THINK I'D HAVE TO ASK WHY WOULDN'T YOU
CHORUS)
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
BRIDGE)
EVERY DAY I GET THE CHANCE TO TURN AWAY OT LEND A HAND SOMEHOW
TO BE HONEST I MUST SAY MOST TIMES I FIND THE EASY WAY AROUND
BUT..
CHORUS)
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
WOULDN'T YOU WOULDN'T I
CHANGE IF WE LISTENED TO
THE VOICE INSIDE US ALL THAT'S CALLING WOULDN'T YOU
WOULDN'T YOU... WOULDN'T YOU... WOULDN'T YOU
