If I was born in a different place
In another time and another space
Would I be the same as I am now?
And if I could see through other eyes
If I could breathe through another mouth
If I could feel through someone else's skin
Would I?
What if I was a painter?
What if I was a sailor?
What if I was a different man in another land?
If I was born in a different race
In another time and another place
Maybe I could understand?
If I was born in a starving land
And I couldn't feed you by my hand
Maybe I could understand?
Would I?
What if I was a painter?
What if I was a sailor?
What if I was a different man in another land?
What if I was a savior?
What if I was the Son of God?
What if I was a holy man in a sacred land?
