If I Could

If I could, I'd look past the things love see, race, murder, and misery. If I could I'd 
do away with hate, take it, hide it, and lock it in the darkest place. So if I could I'd 
give a home to that man that's living on the street and love thy neighbor how it 
suppose to be and if I could there wouldn't be any sickness anymore, pray down 
my soul that peace comes to wars. If I could i would have it where we'd love each 
other, the way we should but i'm only man and all these things i'd do. If I Could
