If I Could Make The Whole World See

If I could make the world see
Exactly how it ought to be
And everyone agreed with me
Would there be peace and harmony?

If I could wave a magic wand
So everyone just got along
And all the strife I’d known was gone
How long til I knew something’s wrong
How long til I knew something’s wrong

I’ve been dreaming of an intervening
All well-meaning stop the fighting and start believing

Does heaven hear the fervent cries
To bless the righteous on our side
When we all give a loud amen
To prayers for us and not for them

The song we sing in unison
With all the other parts unsung
That chorus of the chosen ones
Will not know what it could become
Will not hear all it could become

It’s been seeming all we do is so demeaning
I’ve been feeling something’s got to change completely

Perhaps the world I want to see
Is not where no one disagrees
I’m craving a stability
That comes with some civility

If I could make the world see
Exactly how it ought to be
And everyone agreed with me
I just might miss the chance to see
The beauty in diversity
The beauty of diversity
Oh, if I could make the whole world see.
