Wouldn'T It

Wouldn't it be great 
if all our problems would go away
and wouldn't it be grand
if all our issues would disappear

Sometimes we feel like 
nothing will ever change
Sometimes we feel
like nothing will ever be repaired

Wouldn't it be magnificent
if our parents didn't get drunk
and wouldn't it be fabulous
if our brothers didn't die

Sometimes we wish 
for things to end
Sometimes we want
to go back in time

 
wouldn't it be great
if we would take life as it is
wouldn't it be grand
if we see the grass on the other side

Sometimes things aren't better
on the other side
Sometimes things are worse
for your fellow neighbor

wouldn't it be magnificent
if your friend hadn't gotten raped
wouldn't it be fabulous
if Africa didn't have thousands dead every day

Sometimes it sucks 
to think about someone else
beside yourself

Sometimes it really sucks
to see that maybe all of your problems 
aren't so bad
