Song Lyrics

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
