If you were me
Would you care
Would you smile
All the while

If I were you
Could I laugh
Could I forgive
Say it’s okay

Let’s begin again
You and I and
I as you and
You as I and

See the world as you
See it as me
If you were me
And I were you

If I was god
Would the children die
Would their mothers cry
And their fathers rage
If god was me
Would he forgive you
Draw you to his/my chest
Hold you and breathe

But I am God
And so you are
We’re created in his/her image.

So let’s laugh together
I can forgive
and hold you and
inhale your essence

The children then
can stop dying
their mothers crying
their fathers raging

We can all laugh
and hug each other
and breathe in all
that we are and

All that we could be
Because I am
you and you are
me. God created
us, we see.
