If History Was Mine Alone - Kayak

If history was mine alone to write

I’d have it all my way

An easy game to play

Where only rules that I made up applied

Where people and events

Were under my command

If history was mine alone to change

Knowing what went wrong

And what could have been done

To save the order I would rearrange

The sequence of my dreams

And act behind the scenes

If history was mine alone to claim

An image of the past

I wouldn’t want to last

And show the world within a certain frame

By going back in time

If history was mine

If history was mine

If history was mine

If history was mine

The future would mean burden, grief and shame

Determined just by me

And what to choose to see

If history was mine alone…
