If I had my way, we'd love one another
   If I had my way, we'd all live as brothers
   There'd be no more fussing and fighting
   No more hungry innocent dying
   I'd make it all go away
   If I had my way
  
   If I had my way
   I'd carry your burden
   If I had my way
   No one would be hurtin'
   And there'd be no more hatred and lying
   No more lonely little kids crying
   I'd make it all go away
   If I had my way
  
   Maybe one day the walls will come down
   If I had my way, the lost would be found
   Love will find a way to turn everything around
  
   There'd be no more fussing and fighting
   No more frightened little kids crying
   I'd make it all go away
   If I had my way
