If We Could Change the World
What if we could change the world?
Would it make this life worth while?
Change fears, into braver thoughts,
And sorrows into smiles?
Hate, and nasty words,
To compliments and love?
Would sadness start to fall,
And joys would rise above.
It'd make this world a happy place,
With happy memories.
To the entire, human race,
Simple souls, like you and me.
Negative, judgmental fights,
That start our every war
Turn over, into equal rights.
Let battles, be no more.
Change all the selfish greed,
To giving, to the poor.
If it were all to be,
Our happiness would soar.
What if we learned acceptance?
To those, who aren't the same.
Sexuality, religion, looks and race,
Would be a similar name.
If lies all turned to truth,
Then trust would run about.
All of the pain to lose,
Throwing it all out.
If we could change the world like so,
For every woman; every man.
There's still one thing, that you should know,
The secret is, we can.
