If I Want To
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.
I see what people do
I hear what people say
I know there's trouble everywhere
I see it every day
Some things won't get better
Some people won't get through
But I can dream of a better world
If I want to
If I want to imagine peace on every hand
I close my eyes and dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand
Anytime I start missing human harmony
I listen hard until I hear the music inside me
I can sing of a better world if I want to
I can dream of a better world if I want to
If I want to
You walk down any street
You don't know what you'll find
Sometimes it takes me all I have
To face a world unkind
But I won't give up trying
I won't just let it go
I still believe you can plant a dream
If you want to
If I want to imagine peace on every hand
I close my eyes and dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand
Anytime I start missing human harmony
I listen hard until I hear the music inside me
I can sing of a better world if I want to
I can dream of a better world if I want to
I listen hard until I hear the music inside me
I can sing of a better world if I want to
I can dream of a better world if I want to
And I want to
