paroles de chanson If I Was Earth - The Lyrical

If I was Earth... I'd cry
If I was Earth, I would cry every night X4

If I was Earth I would cry every night – try as I might
Let the tears cleanse man-kind to new heights
If I was darkness I would make friends with light
I'd back down and give society sight, das right!
If I was sin, I'd take a holiday and never come back
I'd learn to smile, buy something yellow, and stop wearing black
If I was murder I'd return the lives I had taken
Touch them and tell them - sorry I was mistaken
If I was murder I'd stop dead in my tracks
Beg for forgiveness and give it all back
If I was cancer I think I'd change my name to gifted
So I could smile instead of frown at all the spirits I lifted
I'd give children life, I'd never take it away
Give them a chance to grow and do things their way
But I am none of these things – I'm just a man – like you
But as the Earth I would do - all the Earth could do

If I was Earth, I would cry every night

If I was Money I would take myself outside and hide it
So the world could just finally stop being divided
Or I would grow in the crops but only African earth
So their people could eat and finally quench their thirst
If I was alcohol I'd sober up and realize I'm useless
Fake confidence and violence – man doesn't need to use this
If I was religion I'd convert to "choice"
Thou shalt believe in thou heart and not one voice
Thou shalt open thou eyes and learn from life's lessons
Let the earth be your teacher and family provide the blessings
If I was doubt I would run to every ear in the world
And whisper "you can do to it" don't be scared of the world
If I was war I would trade all havoc for peace
I'd use the power I had gained to set the whole world free
But all dreams aside I still don't feel right
Cause I know that my earth... She cries every night
