Lyrics
What I?d Like To See
Verse 1
Lately I?ve been thinking about a lot of things
Like changing weather and changing times
I?ve been thinking about water over the dam
But I don?t know where it all comes from
Like another robb?ry, another case of stolen hope
Embezzled truth or counterfeit love
A dive by insult that hits you in the heart
And rips your paper life apart
CHORUS:
I?ll tell you what I?d like to see
I?ll tell you what I?d like this world to be
Just a little kinder and a little brighter
That?s what I?d really like to see
Verse 2
Why can?t good will strike like a hurricane
Tracking powerful eyes to those in need
And send them towering waves of hope
At 150 miles per hour
Why can?t tornados rip out the roots of hate
Topple golden temples that greed lives in
Plow through the land, pulling out the weeds of wrath
And hurtle them past the Land of Oz
CHORUS:
Yeah that?s what I?d like to see
That?s what I?d like this world to be
Just a little kinder and a little brighter
That?s what I?d really like to see
CHORUS:
That?s what I?d like to see
Yeah that?s what I?d like this world to be
Just a little kinder and a little brighter
That?s what I?d really like to see
That?s what I?d really like to see
