What If
What if, Love conquers hate?
just where does that leave you?
What if, the whole world was at peace?
would you be happy too?
What if there was no more war?
would you keep on keeping score?
What if money was not king,
could you give up everything?
What if, your life was satisfying?
would you still prefer your dying?
What if, all people lived as one,
would you want it all to be undone?
What if, Life and love, never ended,
and you could trust all whom you befriended.
What if, pain and all your sorrow,
would all disappear by tomorrow?
What if all of this was real,
a paradise you can see and feel?
Yes the real life, on an earthly paradise!
Can you see it with your own eyes?
