If I had my way (If I had my way)
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)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
You heard about Samson from your birth
Strongest man that ever lived on earth
One day Samson was walking along
He looked on the ground and spied a mug jaw bone
He stretched out his hand and it molded like clay
When he stopped moving ten thousand were dead
Lord, if I had my way (If I had my way)
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)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
Samson and the lion had an attack
Samson jumped on that lion's back
You heard about lions killing men with their paws
Samson put his hand in the lion's jaws
Rode that lion till the beast fell dead
The beast made a hundred in the lion's head
Lord, if I had my way (If I had my way)
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)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
Delilah was a woman fine and fair
With pleasant looks and coal black hair
Delilah first gained on Samson's mind
He first saw the woman in Philistine
Delilah sat on Samson's knee
Said tell me where your strength lie if you please
The woman talked so fine, the woman talked so fair
Samson told Delilah cut off my hair
Shave my head just as clean as your hair
Then I'll become a natural man
They caught old Samson by surprise
They baked up a stick and poked out his eye
Carried him down by the judgment hall
Chained him to that stone cold wall
Left him there till his hair grew down
Samson tore that building down
Lord, if I had my way (If I had my way)
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)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
Tear this building down (Tear this building down)
