If Only 

(Joe Pereira)

It’s hard to see

How you and me

Could make this right

To stop the war

Try to implore

All those who fight

If only we could make them smile

Forget their troubles for a while

With promises of better days

If only we could make them see

There’s more to life than misery

And wars never meant to be

Prop them up against the wall

(Give them hope) don’t let them fall

Those responsible will pay one day

Prop them up against the wall

(Heads up high) and standing tall

Those responsible will have to pay

Its hard to see

Society

Out of this pit

The shifting tides

The angers rise

In a world that’s split

If only we could make them smile

Forget their troubles for a while

With promises of better days

If only we could make them see

There’s more to life than misery

And wars never meant to be

Prop them up against the wall

(Give them hope) don’t let them fall

Those responsible will pay one day

Prop them up against the wall

(Heads up high) and standing tall

Those responsible will pay one day

Those responsible will have to pay
