Verse 1 If I were God might I take birth If it somehow served me to pretend Would I believe that I could die That I may know of love and loss If I were God Verse 2 If I were God what would I choose Could I accept a lie as truth If it somehow served me to suspend My disbelief so I might cry If I were God Chorus If I were God If I were God Verse 3 If I were God might I take sides Embrace ideas of us and them That I may know sadness and fear That I might taste anger and joy If I were God Instrumental Repeat Chorus to fade
