Could I live with this


I'm only a body -- one heart one mind
But only is only -- one of a kind
But that's what I'm here for -- that's why I exist
If I give in now -- to the roar of the crowd
Could I live with this

I'm only one petal -- that falls to the ground
I'm only one bell -- I can make just one sound
But that's what I'm here for -- that's whay I exist
If I change what's true -- to sound more like you
Could I live with this

And 'though I'm not sure what life's all about
I've got my feelings
And if that's what I choose to figure it out
Well.... that's a good thing

When I look in the mirror -- to see what I've become
Will my eyes rest easy -- or will turn and run
Will except my salvation -- with a forgiving kiss
Like a thief who's been caught -- or a judge who's bee bought
Could I live with this
