What if the world stopped one day and took a deep breath.
If we all came together and put our heads on straight.
If we realized that what we were doing was all wrong.

What if tension between countries vaporized into a fine mist.
If national leaders came together to discuss soccer, not war.
If their prejudices changed to support,
Like summer changes to winter.

What if world peace overcame world hunger.
If the greedy were only greedy to help.
If race meant nothing more than heritage.

What if the word trajedy didn’t exist.
If war, murder, and rape were unheard of.
If there were no need for prisons.

I’ll tell you what would happen
There would be no fear, no tension, no threat.
A world people would be proud to live in.
A world full of peace.
