David Phelps - If Everyone Believed

Текст песни

It was 1983
On a snowy Christmas Eve
With my family
And the Christmas tree and lights
That was when it all went wrong
Someone turned the TV on
And the evening news
Broadcast the blues that night
But my dad saw my despair
He put his arm around me there
He said, «Let me tell you this
It’s my lifelong Christmas wish»
He said
If everyone believed
Oh, what a happy place it would be
We’d live in peace on earth as a great big family
If everyone believed
Now the years have come and gone
But that Christmas wish lives on
It’s the thing I pray
When the holidays draw near
You see the news is still real sad
And people, they’re both good and bad
But you just might cope
If you spread some hope and cheer
So as we sing 'Joy To The Earth'
And celebrate the Savior’s birth
I pull my family close to me
And tell them how the world could be
If everyone believed
Oh, what a happy place it would be
We’d live in peace on earth as a great big family
If everyone believed
And I know that it’s easy to say
Oh, but I’m gonna dream it anyway
'Cause a dream becomes a song
And when we sing it we pass it on
If everyone believed
Oh, what a happy place it would be
We’d live in peace on earth as a great big family
If everyone believed, if everyone believed
