If I Had My Way - Robert Randolph & The Family Band

If I had my way, I’d tear this building down

If I had my way, I’d tear this building down

Tear the building down

Tear the building down

Down with Daniel in the lion’s den

Wondering where have you been

Like Delilah fine and fair

Diamond eyes and coal black hair

Like Delilah putting me out

So much sorrow, so much doubt

Love is painful, love is blind

Never know what you’re going to find

If I had my way, I’d see your face again

If I had my way, I’d see your face again

See your face again

See your face again

Down with the Daniel in the lion’s den

Trying to make it out again

Everybody in the world

Trapped here too or so I’ve heard

So much sorrow, so much fear

Got us all fouled up down here

Oh but if I get my way

We’ll be leaving soon today

If I had my way there’s no suffering in this land

If I had my way there’s no suffering in this land

Suffering in this land

Suffering in this land

I say Daniel tell me true

Will your God take care of you

Daniel, he say, that’s a fact

We’ll soon be leaving won’t be back

We’ll bring this building down with fire

Lift us all up get me higher

Keep on dreaming, keep the faith

Someday soon you’ll have your way

If I had my way, I’d burn this building down

If I had my way, I’d burn this building down

Burn this building down

Burn this building down

Down with Daniel in the lion’s den

Thinking how the world might end

Lion say you’ll be mine

I say no, I still got time

Lion laughs and bears his teeth

Door swings open and I go free

Daniel says you lying lion

Gonna burn you up like fire

If I had my way, I’d burn this building down

If I had my way, I’d burn this building down

Burn this building down

Burn this building down

If I had my way, I’d see your face again

If I had my way there’s no suffering in this land

Suffering in this land

Suffering in this land
