If I Could Only Write A Song
(written by Mike Bryant)
(key of E)
If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
I've been so many places
And I've seen so many faces in a crowd
So many blank expressions
While the world just slips by them all the while
They never realize the difference
That they could make
If they would only stop and try
And this song that I'm singing, is just my way
To have people ask the question why
(Chorus)
If I could only write a song
And bring the thought of peace to people's minds
If only they could see that love
Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed
I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If only I could write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
(Musical Break)
In my song there'd be no hunger
Around the world there'd be plenty food to eat
And the homeless on the streets would have shelter
And they'd have shoes upon their feet
In the world there'd be no violence
There'd be a kind word for every stranger that you meet
If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
(Chorus)
If I could only write a song
And bring the thought of peace to people's minds
If only they could see that love
Is the only way that a mountains ever climbed
I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If only I could write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
I'd write a song of happiness
And send it out for all the world to see
If I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
Yes if I could only write a song
That would make the whole world listen to me
