Go Ask Peter, by Doug McKenna

How would you feel
if it wasn't a part of you?
What would you think
if they left it inside of you?
When would you stop
if you know you can't start again?

What would you take
if the world didn't want to give?
What would you steal
if you're hungry and have to live?
Where would you go
if they cut out the heart of it?
What would you see
with your eyes closed in front of it?

You've been seen there too.
Can you say, "Not true?"

Where would you go
if you knew you'd be welcome there?
Could you still speak
if you knew that they didn't care?
How would you feel
if it wasn't a part of you?
When would you stop
if you know you can't start again?

How would you feel
if it wasn't a part of you?
What would you think
if they left it inside of you?
When would you stop
if you know you can't start again?
