If I held the world
Location
If I held the world in my hands,
I would stretch it as far as I could
Expand the land further
Make the oceans wider
Pull the tallest tree higher
Space constraints even the smallest of beings
Limits the expanse of our knowledge
Prevents forests from growing, and fields from producing
If I held the world in my hands
I would give a blanket to every mother
A seed to all fathers
And a beating heart to each child
The world be warmer
A little bit richer
And a whole lot louder
If I held the world in my hands
I would paint rainbows across buildings
Marriage equality would ring in everyones ears
Smiles would be shared over wedding day toasts
Churches would invite all neighbors to attend
Diversity would spread like a wild fire
Its flames hitting each country with power
Black and White would become Gray
Segregation would become a word of history
Our history books would be burned and replaced with songs of freedom
Songs of generations
Songs of dying mothers, and fighting brothers
If I held the world in my hands
I would wrap it like a present and send it to the moon
Give it a day to look at things from a different perspective
Remind it how important it is
Tell it, it is time to wake up, breakfast is on the table
Your nature is on the table
Your people are on the table
It is time to wake up and start a brand new day
