If We Lived In a World

If we lived in a world
If we lived in a world not full of sin
Nobody would lose and every body would win
If we lived in a world where dreams were made
Every one could be happy our minds wouldn’t fade
If we lived in a world and we kept on believing
Then soon we wouldn’t love with hate and deceiving
If we lived in a world and know God holds it in his hands
We would all be the same love all of his lands
If we lived in a world and treated everybody the same
We wouldn’t lie for wealth, fortune or fame
If we lived in a world and not try to be a king
Nothing could hold us down not anyone or anything
If we lived in a world of peace,trust and love
Then God would smile on us all from high up above.

Well-penned, Marty! Lot of ifs, but if we can't dream, what have we got left? Light and Joy, Gershon

G’day Marty … very true what you wrote Marty, but power and greed have consumed humanity into a world of hate, deception, and destruction. I just your verse was the world we live in - thank you Marty - Lindsay
