If Only

If only this old world could be at peace
If only we could make the fighting cease
Together we could make some things come true
If only, oh, if only

I thought we'd see our children running free
Happy, that's the way it's meant to be
If we could make this happen, don't you see
This would be a better world for you and me

If only we could all join hands and sing
Somehow there's got to be a better way
Fighting never did prove anything
That's the wrong, the heartaches, that it brings

If only we could fill this world with love
Each night for help from God above
To guide our hearts
To help our children grow
If only, oh, if only

If only we could all join hands and sing
Somehow there's got to be a better way
Fighting never did prove anything
That's the wrong, the heartaches, that it brings

If only this old world could be at peace
If only we could make the fighting cease
Together, we could make some things come true
If only, oh, if only
If only, oh, if only
If only
