Let's Pretend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's pretend there's a God above, let's pretend
Let's pretend there's a God of love, let's pretend
Let's pretend that he wants us to be
All of the good things we can be
Let's pretend I love you and you love me
Let's pretend
Let's pretend we believe his holy word
He has spoken and we have heard, let's pretend
Let's pretend 'though he spoke through different men
The basic truths remain, let's pretend
Let's pretend that the numbers five to ten
were written for all men (with lightning as the pen)
Let's pretend, let's pretend what happened then
Let's pretend
Let's pretend that the Pope sells all his jewels
To feed the hungry, ooh let's pretend
Let's pretend religous leaders say war is wrong
no matter who is strong, let's pretend
Let's pretend religion excommunicates those
who deal in hate and leaves them to their fate
Let's pretend these evil people give a damn
and start loving their fellow man
Let's pretend
Let's pretend that the only four letter words are
hate and kill and maim, let's pretend
Let's pretend that no matter what you've heard
love is the word, let's pretend
Let's pretend the black and white, the east and west
the Irish and the rest can pass the love test
Let's pretend that love is the best, let's pretend
Let's pretend there's a God above, let's pretend
Let's pretend there's a God of love, let's pretend
Let's pretend that he wants us to be
all of the good things we can be
Let's pretend I love you and you love me
Let's pretend
