If

If the world was all alright,
If the sky was always bright,
If darkness succumbed to light,
Things would be fine.

If the rich would feed the poor,
If I could get up off the floor,
If I held you forevermore,
Things would be great.

If war gave birth to peace,
If foreheads never creased,
If love would never cease,
I'd love you true.

If we gave in to fate,
If love replaced hate,
If people learnt to wait,
I'll wait for you.

If the sun shined forever,
If it forced through bad weather,
If the cows kept their leather,
We'd all be fine.

If the world was all alright,
If the haters stopped their fight,
If I held you in the light,
Things would be fine,
Things would all be fine.
