If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
Tear this building down
You heard about Samson from your birth
Strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day Samson was walking along
He looked on the ground and saw an old jawbone
He stretched out his hand and it molded like clay
When he stopped moving ten thousand were dead
Lord If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
Tear this building down
Samson and the lion had an attack
Samson jumped on that lion's back
You heard about lions k**ing men with their paws
Samson put his hands in the lion's jaws
Rode that lion 'til the beast fell dead
Bees made honey in the lion's head
Lord If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
Tear this building down
Delilah was a woman fine and fair
Splendid looks and coal black hair
Delilah first gained on Samson's mind
He first saw the woman with a Philistine
Delilah sat on Samson's knee
So tell me where your strength lies if you please
A woman talks so fine a woman talks so fair
Samson told Delilah cut off my hair
Shave my head just as clean as your hand
And then I'll become a more natural man
They caught ol' Samson by surprise
Picked up a stick and poked out his eyes
Carried him down by the judgment hall
Chained him to that stone cold wall
Left him there 'til his hair grew down
Samson tore that building down
Lord If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way
I would tear this building down
Tear this building down
Tear this building down
Tear this building down
Tear this building down
Tear this building down
