[Intro]
* (x2)
[Verse 1]
If you knew th

You saw the fa

Would you chan

[Verse 2]
If you knew th

When you're do
wn so low, you
cannot fall
Would you chan
ge? Would yo

[Chorus]
How bad, ho

How many lo

What chain

That brings a

Would you chan

[Chorus]
How bad, ho

[Bridge]
Are you so
upright, you c
an't be bent?
If it comes to
blows,
Are you so
sure you won't
be crawling?
If not for the
good, why ris
k falling?
Why risk falli
ng?
[Verse 5]
If everything
you think you
know
Makes your lif
e unbearable
Would you chan
ge? Would yo
u change?
[Verse 6]
If you've brok
en every rule
and vow
And hard times
come to bring
you down
Would you chan
ge? Would yo
u change?
[Outro]
If you knew th
at you would d
ie today
If you saw the
face of God a
nd love
Would you chan
ge? Would y
ou change?
Would you chan
ge? Would y
ou change?
If you saw the
face of God a
nd love
If you saw the
face of God a
nd love
Would you chan
ge? Would y
ou change?
