If

If
If at the sound of wish
The summer sun would shine
And if just a smile would do
To brush all the clouds from the sky
If at the blink of an eye
The autumn leaves would whirl
And if you could sigh a deep sigh
To scatter them over the earth
I'd blink my eyes
And wave my arms
I'd wish a wish
To stop all harm
If at the wave of a hand
The winter snows would start
And if you could just light a candle
To change people's feelings and hearts
I'd whisper love
In every land
To every child
Woman and man
That's what I'd do
If my wishes would come true
That's what I'd do
If my wishes could come true
