If I Didn'T Think What I Think Here's What I'D Think

If I didn't think what I think here's what I'd think There is good in everyone From the butcher of children to the defrauder of the elderly I would trust the viper not to bite For my ignorance would protect me I could leave my keys in the car or my house doors unlocked No one would take that which doesn’t belong to them I could preach the Gospel to the world For all would believe in the love of Christ our savior And none would persecute the bearer of such good news There would be no child left behind Regardless of their economics and opportunities in life All would fulfill the full measure of their talents I would think my political leaders would balance the budget As I have learned to live within my own means For the shame of being a debtor is ungodly in practice I would believe that there is a cure to any disease afflicting mankind That our mother father and children would reach a full healthy life time No tears for cancers heart attacks or deformed bodies necessary If I didn’t think what I think I’d think I would have died and am now in a better place A place where such does exist I would think I’m in Heaven
