If I could Give the World a Gift

If I could give the world a gift
it would be LOVE
I would wrap it in the stars of heaven
and tie it with the bond of brotherhood.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be PEACE
I would hold it in my nested palms
softly like a white dove for all to see.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be JOY
I would place it gently on the happy wind
to float into the hearts of every living soul.
If I could give the world a gift
It would be A SONG
I would sing with power like an angel
A melody of harmony and truth.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be FRIENDSHIP
We would embrace each other
As brothers – as sisters – as family.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be FAITH
I would say a prayer with you
and He would come and sit with us.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be TOMORROW
on the wings of a glorious dawn
with golden sunshine and rest from pain.
If I could give the world a gift
it would be A NEW DAY
We would all wear radiant white
And dance together amid the clouds
And there would be PEACE
And there would be LOVE
And the earth would shine like a diamond
And wouldn't that be so wonderful!
If I could give the world these gifts!
And you and I could rejoice together!
For once and forever!
