What would you do if you saw I was torn,
From the love of my mother's hands?
What would you do if the clothes I had worn,
Were ripped from me where I stand?

What would you do?

What would you do if I washed to your shore,
In need someplace to land?
What would you do, would you promise me more,
And say that you understand?

What would you do?
Would you let me come home?
Would you let me come home?

Where I've been, you'll never know
Hurricanes and hell fire below
You gotta give all you can bare
Won't you meet me? I'm already there

What would you do if I showed you places,
That only my eyes have seen?
What would you do if you finally saw,
The faces behind your machine?

What would you do?
Would you let me come home?
Would you let me come home?

Where I've been, you'll never know
Hurricanes and hell fire below
You got to give all you can bare
Won't you meet me? I'm already there

What would you do?

What would you do?
(Tell me, what would you do)?
