Only If the World Was Filled With a Little More Love
Today I changed the world,
by reaching out to someone
with unpleasant vibes.
Maybe it was the sigh in their voice,
or the emptiness within their eyes.
For that moment I was a soul who cared,
made them feel happy to be alive.
Helped them see they weren't alone,
and with a caring smile,
I helped them to survive.
This world is not all about you,
and it's definitely
not all about me.
With a little love there's so much we can do,
give it a try,
then maybe you will see.
Only if this world was filled,
with a little more love...
With some true compassion in our hearts,
we could open up the skies above.
Only if this world is filled,
with a little more love...
Then the only tears we'd see cried,
would be tears of joy,
from other peoples eyes.
Only if this world was filled,
with a little more love...
With some compassion for future lives,
we could make this world a better place,
and not so hard just to survive.
Only if this world is filled,
with a little more love...
We can open our hearts to other people cries,
return that sparkle of joy that's been missing
from some one else's eyes.
Only if this world was filled,
with a little more love...
A true love we couldn't deny,
paid in full by a love,
that money can't buy.
Only if this world is filled,
with a little more love...
