What if no one ever felt an ounce of pain
We had a world where there was never any people slain
Where kids werent getting killed over
Shoes and chains
And inner city youth
Never had to fuckin choose a gang
What if our founding fathers never owned a slave
What if people weren't afraid of change
What if every job paid a decent wage
And we got to live a life where we werent
Stressed every fuckin day
What if my grandpa never lost his brain
Would my grandma live with lesser pain
What if dreams were more than sleepin things
And jobs provided more than just financial gain
What if the people runnin things agreed on things
Would we be engaged in battles overseas
And this life is not an easy thing
But I can't help but think we make it harder than it needs to be
Everytime I think about just who I wanna be
Something inside tells me aint too many of us free
People they might come and go
The things we do they fade
Still we must keep on trying if
We're gonna make a change
What if mental health was treated like the physical
What if humans were
Incapable of bein synical
What if good news was on the tv in the living room
And people didn't judge you by the music
That you listened too
What if people didn't care how other people lived
What if people understood what trauma is
What if it was understood that
Just cause you don't see it
That don't mean that its not how it is
Theres more to life than just the place you live
They call it small world but honestly this place is big
What if everybody had a place to live
And people didn't starve
And no one ever knew what homeless is
What if we could think outside the way we think
Have an honest conversation over drinks
I'm not sayin we should all agree
But we could find a peace
And find the beauty that
A difference brings
Everytime I think about just who I wanna be
Something inside tells me aint too many of us free
People they might come and go
The things we do they fade
Still we must keep on trying if
We're gonna make a change
