If I Were God
03:25

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
