Where You Live
If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of god and love
Would you change?
Would you change?


If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low that you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?


How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change


If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?


If you knew that you would find a truth
That would bring a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?


How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change


Are you so up right
You can't be bent
If it comes to blows
Are you so sure you won't be crawling
If not for the good why why risk falling
Why risk falling?


If everything you think you know
Makes your life unbearable
Would you change?
Would you change?


If you'd broken every rule and vow
And hard times come to bring you down
Would you change?
Would you change?


If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?


If you saw the face of God and loved
If you saw the face of God and loved
Would you change?
Would you change?
