If You

                    If you listen closely, you'll hear the cries of the world
             Look at the ground see the tears of a woman, molested as a girl 
                         The yells of a boy, trapped in the life of hell 
                   These are the things I hear, in the world where I dwell 

                  If you open your eyes, you'll see the world for what it is 
                    Teenagers giving birth, when they too are just kids 
               You'll see the bruises of women, from the hand of their other
                   This is what I see, what about my sisters and brothers

                       If you open your mind, you can picture the death
                           Of our soldiers at war, tell me what's next
                               Brutally injured, some of them blind
                         This is what I picture, when I open my mind

                         If you opened your eyes, it would all be clear
                          If you listened closely, you'd be able to hear
                      If you opened your mind, you'd pay more attention
       Then maybe we could strive for peace, hmm peace I forgot to mention
