I shudder to think
|
What it would mean
|
If the president wore pink
|
Or if a prostitute was queen
|
|
What would happen then
|
How would the world change
|
If thick became thin
|
And the world was rearranged
|
|
If the rains brought down the moon
|
And daylight was feared
|
And the sun rose too soon
|
And then just disappeared
|
|
If dogs became kings
|
And the Pope chewed gum
|
And hobos had wings
|
And God was a bum
|
|
If houses became trees
|
And flowers turned to stone
|
And there were no families
|
And people lived alone
|
|
If buildings started laughing
|
And windows cried
|
And feet started clapping
|
And out came inside
|
|
If mountains fell in slivers
|
And the sky began to bleed
|
And blood filled up the rivers
|
And prisoners were freed
|
|
If the stars fell apart
|
And the ocean dried up
|
And the world was one big heart
|
And decided to stop
|
|
If children grew up happier
|
And they could run with the wolves
|
And they never felt trapped
|
Or hungry or unloved
|
|
If cats walked on water
|
And birds had bank accounts
|
And we loved one another
|
In equal amounts
|
