If I Want To

I see what people do I hear what people say I know there's trouble everywhere I see it every day 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 Anytime I start missing 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 But I won't give up trying 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 Anytime I start missing 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 I can dream of a better world if I want to And I want to
