If By Some Miracle
If by some miracle, if I could have the power,
I'd wave my magic wand, and upon this earth I'd shower
A rain for the lonely, to wash away empty hours,
So for them a love could flourish and blossom like the flowers.
If by some miracle, if I could have the right,
I'd wave my magic wand and let the blind see light;
I'd wave it at dark shadows to make their darkness bright,
And free them from their blackness that used to be their sight.
If by some miracle, if I could have the choice,
I'd wave my magic wand and give the mutes their voice;
I'd cut the barrier of silence with a long and golden knife,
To let in sounds of laughter and the beautiful songs of life.
If by some miracle, if I was able to adapt
A way to feed the hungry and walk the handicapped,
To save the world's children who are parentless in need,
To stop the wars and killing and the ignorance of human greed,
To salvage some of the brotherhood that once-
roamed upon this land,
To halt all the prejudice to go walking hand in hand.
So, if by some miracle, if I could have the means,
This world would be like Heaven, not full of wishful dreams.
