If I Could Only Write a Song

If I could only write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me

I've been so many places

And I've seen so many faces in a crowd

So many blank expressions

While the world just slips by them all the while

They never realize the difference

That they could make

If they would only stop and try

And this song that I'm singing is just my way

To have people ask the question why

If I could only write a song

And bring the thought of peace to peoples minds

If only they could see that love

Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed

I'd write a song of happiness

And send it out for all the world to see

If only I could write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me

In my song there'd be no hunger

Around the world there'd be plenty food to eat

And the homeless on the streets would have shelter

And they'd have shoes upon their feet

In the world there'd be no violence

There'd be a kind word for every stranger that you meet

If I could only write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me

If I could only write a song

And bring the thought of peace to peoples minds

If only they could see that love

Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed

I'd write a song of happiness

And send it out for all the world to see

If only I could write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me

I'd write a song of happiness

And send it out for all the world to see

If I could only write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me

Yes if I could only write a song

That would make the whole world listen to me
