If I Had My Way (You'd Be Alright)


This is an internet collaboration between Fred Leach, Kenny B. and myself. Written & produced by Freddy, this song is the result of a very intense effort. The song is a very emotional piece, especially for Freddy as it represents a very sad time in his life. I would like to thank Freddy for the opportunity to be a part of this project. It has been a very fulfilling project as well as a great learning experience from someone who I consider to be an elite, dedicated and very gifted musician.

Lyrics:


I've wittnessed the fire in my brother's eyes
Watched him stumble, watched him fall
Looked on as he forced his way to the coming goodbye
Thought to myself "he's gonna loose it all"

Why can't you play it straight don't you know who you are?
You've forgotten all your manners, and your goals
Everyone around you says you're out so far
That you act like you don't know, that you really know

Why the hard times? Should be happiness
Fight for reality Open your eyes and see
Why the hard times? Should be happiness
Fight for reality Open your eyes and see your life

If I had my way you'd be alright and all the torment would be in the past
And you'd learn to love instead of fight and all relationships would start to last
You fight off the demons as they fly but it makes them want you even more
You think that all I tell you will be lies and the demons say it's not like before

Why the hard times? Should be happiness
Fight for reality Open your eyes and see
Why the hard times? Should be happiness
Fight for reality Open your eyes and see your life
