If I Want To

I see what people do

I hear what people say

I know there's trouble everywhere

I see it everyday

Some things won't get better

Some people won't get through

But I can dream of a better world

If I want to

If I want to imagine

Peace on every hand, I close my eyes

And dream my dreams

In dreams I make a stand

Any time I start missin'

Human harmony, I listen hard

Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world

If I want to

I can dream of a better world

If I want to, if I want to

You walk down any street

You don't know what you'll find

Sometimes it takes me all I have

To face a world unkind

And I won't give up tryin'

I won't just let it go

I still believe

You can plant a dream, if you want to

If I want to imagine

Peace on every hand, I close my eyes

And dream my dreams

In dreams I make a stand

And any time I start missin'

Human harmony, I listen hard

Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world

If I want to

I can dream of a better world

If I want to

I listen hard

Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world

If I want to

And I can dream of a better world

If I want to

I listen hard

Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world

If I want to

I can dream of a better world

If I want to and I want to
