If Only

If only, we can laugh and make the world laugh.

If only, we can make humanity shed a tear,

If only, we can talk without slur or discrimination,

And make the world free.

If only, we can see and not be blind,

And make the world open it's eyes.

If only, we can hear,

And not shut out.

If only, we can feel,

And make every man feel.

Honesty, integrity, pride and love,

We would start a journey,

Each and every one,

To make a  better world.

For all our fellow man

IF Only.
