美國鄉村樂女王［蕾芭麥肯泰］──鄉村／成人抒情曲──宣揚大愛的［What If／如果］

Sometimes I dont understand

Feels like Im living in a world gone mad

Look around, all around its just the same

People just rush everywhere

No time to ever take the time to care

Were the ones, were the losers in this game

So where is the tenderness we sacrifice for progress

And where is the love we need, you know it makes me wonder

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand?

(Reached with just one hand)

What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice?

(Sang with just one voice)

Maybe we could change things

What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one heart?

(Cared with their own heart)

What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark?

(Tried to light one spark)

Maybe we could change things somehow

Somehow its all up to us, gotta take this world

Make it a world of love, gotta do it now

Gotta find a way to make a change somehow

Theres gotta be a way for us to make it better

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand?

(Reached with just one hand)

What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice?

(Sang with just one voice)

Maybe we could change things

What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one hear?t

(Cared with their own heart)

What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark?

(Tried to light one spark)

Maybe we could change things somehow

Here in our hearts, oh, the answer is there

If we only would look inside them

We can make it better, we can make it better

If we try together

What if everybody, what if everybody reached out with just one hand?

(Reached with just one hand)

What if everybody, what if everybody sang out with just one voice?

(Sang with just one voice)

Maybe we could change things

What if everybody, what if everybody cared with just one heart?

(Cared with their own heart)

What if everybody, what if everybody tried to light one spark?

(Tried to light one spark)

Maybe we could change things somehow
