lyrics

If I was Jesus Christ what miracles would I achieve?
Would I wrestle wine from water,
Would I calm the raging seas?
Could I still take up the cross knowing they'd all turn their backs on me?
What kind of savior would I be?

I'm sure Jesus was a young man
With his head stuck in the clouds
But in his imagination
He's got it all figured out

If I became the president could I learn how to lead?
Could I solve a nation's problems,
Could I solve what's inside me?
Could I make folks work together even when they disagree?
What kind of leader would I be?

I think Lincoln said it better
When he stood on hallowed ground
"All men are created equal"
Wish we could hear that now

Maybe it's just wishful thinking
And I love to think out loud
I think we could still start over
Is it too late for that now?

If I was something better than the man you thought you knew
Would you crawl back through the window of this lonely old bedroom?
Could you find it in your heart to take a chance and forgive me?
What kind of man would I need to be?
What kind of man would I need to be?
