if i were a man

If I were a man I would tell Stories to your kids And if I were a man I would find All the spots they hid And offer flowers to their bones And give apologies for those Who felt unwelcome If I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones If I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones And if I were a man I would take All the the things they stole And though I am alone I would find recompense for your soul And I'd distribute it like rain Through plains and bonnets blue but then The land is barren Though soon will rise again If I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones If I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones If I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones And if I were a man I would find Flowers for your bones And if I were a man I would sell off the medals won And when the clouds were parted I'd stare blindly at the sun I would stare blindly at the sun I would stare blindly at the sun I would stare blindly at the sun I would stare blindly at the sun
