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
