IF I MET YOU, ON THE CORNER, 
WOULD I KNOW YOU, AS YOU ARE
WOULD I TAKE YOU, FOR A STRANGER,
AND BRUSH PAST YOU IN THE DOOR
IF YOU CALLED ME, WOULD I HEAR YOU, 
OR WOULD I WALK AWAY TOO SOON
IF I LINGERED FOR A MOMENT, WOULD I SEE MYSELF IN YOU

IF I FOUGHT YOU, AS A SOLDIER, 
IF I HAD YOU, IN MY SIGHTS
WOULD YOU ASK ME, TO REMEMBER, 
WHO IMAGINED, I WAS RIGHT
IF YOU WITNESSED, MY SURRENDER, 
DO I KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO
IF YOU HELD ME, LIKE MY BROTHER, 
WOULD I SEE MYSELF IN YOU

WELL I DREAMED MY END WAS NEAR, 
I WAS ALMOST GONE
IF I DREAM THAT DREAM FROM HERE, 
CAN I STILL COME HOME?

IF YOU CALLED ME, WOULD I HEAR YOU, 
DO I KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO?
IF YOU HELD ME, LIKE MY FATHER, 
WOULD I SEE MYSELF IN YOU?
IF YOU HELD ME, LIKE MY MOTHER, 
WOULD I SEE MYSELF IN YOU?
