lyrics

If I Were
Steven Heller

If I were the ocean, as deep as forever
I'd turn all the sharks into vegetarians
If I were the ground, I would shake bullies down
And not let them up till they drank from love's cup.

If I were the sky, I'd let all children fly
And play on the clouds soft and snowy
If I were the moon, I'd shine down in your room
And light up your dreams with my silver moonbeams.

If I were the breeze, I would tickle the trees
And keep all the flowers a'dancin'
If I were the rain, I'd always come back again
Wash the world clean, keep the grass growing green.

If you were me, what would you be
Would you play on the clouds soft and snowy
If you want to try, in your mind you can fly
You can light up your dreams with your magic moonbeams.

If you just stay you, there's so much you can do
Wash the world clean, keep the grass growing green.
