La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
If I was a painter I’d throw away my brush
And if I was a fighter I’d hang up my gloves
And if I was a magician I’d give away my secrets
If I was the only witness I’d swear to forget
See I’d give it all up to go back to before I fell in love
To the first time that I saw your pretty face
And turn and walk away
If I was the night sky I’d give away my stars
And if I was the sunshine I would gladly go dark
If I was king of the jungle I would give up my throne
If I was Cesar Augustus I would surrender Rome
See I’d give it all up to go back to before I fell in love
To the first time that I saw your pretty face
And turn and walk away
Should’ve walked away (x4)
Could’ve walked away (x2)
Should’ve walked away
Could’ve walked away
Shouldn’t let it get that far
Now I am all torn apart
How I wish I could erase you
See I’d give it all up to go back to before I fell in love
To the first time that I saw your pretty face
And turn and walk away
