If I Had My Way

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this building down

Tear this building down

You read about Samson from his birth

Strongest man that ever lived on earth

One big Samson was walking along

Looked down on the ground and spied an old dry bone

Stretched out his hand, swung it over his head

When he stopped moving, ten thousand were dead

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this building down

Tear this building down

Samson and the lion that got his attack

Samson jumped up on that lion's back

You read about him, he killed a man with his paw

Samson got his hands around the lion's jaw

Rode that beast 'til the lion was dead

Bees made honey in the lion's head

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this building down

Tear this building down

Delilah was a woman so fine and fair

She had lovely good looks and a coal black hair

Delilah gained on Samson's mind

First saw the woman just to fill his time

Sit down on Samson's knees

Tell me where your strength lies if you please

She spoke so kind, talked so fair

Samson told Delilah, "Cut off all my hair"

Shave my head clean as your hand

My strength will be like a natural man

Caught old Samson by surprise

Picked up a stick and poked him eye to eye

Dragged him down to the judgment hall

Chained him to the stone cold wall

Left him there 'til his hair turned brown

Samson tore that building down

If I had my way

If I had my way

If I had my way

I would tear this building down

Tear this building down

Tear this building down

Tear this building down

Tear this building down

I would tear this building down
