If I could bring you anything
I'd bring a banquet for a king
Cheese and wine and fruit and pies
A taste of everything
I'd have baked you a cake
But the hacksaw didn't fit the pan
I'd bring more than I could hold
In these two hands
If I could bring you anything
I'd bring a meadow full of flowers
Hummingbirds and dragonflies
No fences for miles
You'd lay on the grass
Feel the sun kiss your face
I'd bring the open sky
Erase time and place
If I could bring you anything
It would be peace of mind
An ocean of serenity
Freedom inside
I'd bring love to the lonely
Afraid to ever love again
And beer for the innocent
To drown their sorrows in
If I could bring you anything
It would be Jesus Christ,
Buddha, Mohammed,
Whatever gets you through the life
Good whiskey for those
Who don't believe any more
And pot for those who need
To think on it some more
But all I could bring
Was my guitar and these songs
Bread and roses for the wayward
Been hungry so long
I'll take with me the memory
Of the day my life was changed
And the hope that when you leave this place
You never come back again
If I could bring you anything
I'd bring a banquet for a king
Cheese and wine and fruit and pies
A taste of everything
I'd have baked you a cake
But the hacksaw didn't fit the pan
I'd bring more than I could hold
In these two hands
If I could bring you anything
I'd bring a meadow full of flowers
Hummingbirds and dragonflies
No fences for miles
You'd lay on the grass
Feel the sun kiss your face
I'd bring the open sky
Erase time and place
If I could bring you anything
It would be peace of mind
An ocean of serenity
Freedom inside
I'd bring love to the lonely
Afraid to ever love again
And beer for the innocent
To drown their sorrows in
If I could bring you anything
It would be Jesus Christ,
Buddha, Mohammed,
Whatever gets you through the life
Good whiskey for those
Who don't believe any more
And pot for those who need
To think on it some more
But all I could bring
Was my guitar and these songs
Bread and roses for the wayward
Been hungry so long
I'll take with me the memory
Of the day my life was changed
And the hope that when you leave this place
You never come back again
If I could bring you anything
