Woulda Coulda

I can recall
Days when the world was so small
I could fit it in my pocket
Take it with me where I want it
Now there's so much
Most of it you can't even touch
It's like everything is planned
Much to my disadvantage
This life's made me lead
Lead me to depend on machines
What happened to my hands they were strong
Holding what I wanted all along
Could you smile while they suffer
Could you kick them when they're down
Could you burn the world for what you want
Never crack a frown
Could you trade your soul for bars of gold
Or would it hurt to part another thing(?)
But i'd like to believe
That I have a heart
I used believe
That I was put on Earth to achieve
Something bigger than myself
Not for lies or fame or wealth
The lights are so bright
I couldn't even tell day from night
But now that I'm awake
I choose to give instead of take
Could you smile while they suffer
Could you kick them when they're down
Could you burn the world for what you want
Never crack a frown
Could you trade your soul for bars of gold
Or would it hurt to part another thing(?)
But i'd like to believe
That I have a heart
Choose between what buys the things you want
Or what gives you everything you'd ever need
No other casting face to from
Just remember who you are and want to be
I can recall days when the world was so small
I could fit it in my pocket
Take it with me where I want it
Could you smile while they suffer
Could you kick them when they're down
Could you burn the world for what you want
Never crack a frown
Could you trade your soul for bars of gold
Or would it hurt to part another thing(?)
But i'd like to believe
That I have a heart
That I have a heart
That I have a heart
That I have a heart
I'd like to believe
That I have a heart
