lyrics

If I could tell the future,
I'd tell everyone what I could see;
so that if everything is set in stone,
we'd all become its sculptors shaping.

If I were president,
I'd end the wars within the hour;
& though I'm sure I'd catch a bullet someday,
I'm just as sure that I'd fall smiling.

If I could fly,
I'd spend all day head in the clouds.

If I could talk to God,
then I'd ask if we could trade places
for even just one day, so I could finally
see if I could do any better.

If I could fly,
I'd spend all day head in the clouds.

And I can't tell the future,
but I can still tell the past
enough to know that dreams alone will never act.
No one needs some special power to do that.
All you need is will.
