If only.....

If only there was no sickness;
 - and people couldn't get seriously ill.
If only there was no famine;
 - and children could eat their fill.

If only there were no disasters;
 - and lives weren't tragically lost.
If only there was no poverty;
 - and we didn't have to worry about costs.

If only there was complete acceptance;
 - and colour, sex and religion didn't matter at all.
If only there were no wars;
 - and no soldiers were permitted to fall.

If only there was no crime;
 - and you could feel safe on the street.
If only there was no sadness;
 - and everyone was always upbeat.

If only there was love, joy and happiness;
 - and there was nothing to make us scared.
If only life could be easy;
 - and pigs could fly overhead.
