What If...
The soldiers of the world
All at the very same time
Laid down their mighty weapons
And refused to fight
Walked off of the killing fields
To make their way back home
As the world stood by and watched
Would we then all get along
What If...
Those who preached of hate
Suddenly shut their mouths
Turning from the hatred in their hearts
To find what true love is all about
Would it make a difference
In how you loved those around
Would it make a difference
In how you loved yourself
What If...
All the leaders of the world
Came together for one day
Locked themselves inside a room
With their advisors out of the way
Could they see each other with value
And become the best of friends
Seeing it's not just a country after all
But a world that we live in
What If...
