“Who Would You Be Now”
By Rich Owen (Copyright 2009)

Verse 1:
An old photo in a drawer
A girl I once knew
I remember the day she told me she was late
I told her I would do the right thing
But she had other plans; she said,
“A quick trip to the doctor is all it takes”
Not long after that
I heard that she left town
To this day I wonder; who would you be now?

Chorus 1:
Who would you be now?
Would you someday cure the cold
Or walk on the moon?
Who would you be now?
Might I someday have walked you down
The aisle in June?

Verse 2:
Down the street where I live
There’s a playground and a school
The sound of laughter drifts into my room
In every child’s face I see
The ghost of who you’ll never be
And I wonder; does she ever feel it too?
I may find a way
To live with this, somehow
But the guilt, Lord, it’s killing me right now

Chorus 2:
Who would you be now?
Would you unite the World
Or bring hunger to an end?
Who would you be now?
Would you save another’s life
By just being a friend?

Now we’ll never know
The difference that you might have made
A stor…ry untold
You were a child not a choice
But no one heard your voice…
Who would you be now?

Bridge:
The Son of God
Gave to us this creed;
Whatsoever you do,
To the least of my brothers
That you do unto me

<Musical Bridge>
Yes, we’ll never know
The difference that you might have made
A stor…ry untold
You were a child not a choice
But no one heard your voice…
Who would you be now?

We thought it was our choice…
We never heard your voice…
Who...would...you…be
Now?
