* WOULD * ? ? ?

If you had a bruise.
Would I feel the pain?
If you lost your leg
Would it leave me lame?

If you shed a tear
Would I taste the salt?
If you were to blame
Would I be at fault?

When jokes made you laugh
Would I start to giggle?
When music thrilled your soul
Would I start to wiggle?

When the sun beat upon you
Would my skin get burned ?
If you were unhappy
Would I be concerned ?

If  you  were real  tired
Would  I  fall  asleep ?
When you  felt  like  crying
Is it me,  that  would weep?

If you became hungry
Would my stomach growl ?
If  injustice  made you angry
Would  I  start to scowl ?

If you lost all your friends
Would it be me,  who cried ?
If   you  were departed
Would it be me ,  who died ?
