Lyrics / Paroles

Michael
If'n I was God
Well, just for spite
I wouldn’t set the sun at night
’Til everyone was treated right
By everyone else they see

If’n I was God
I’d fix it so without explaining
Folks would know
They’d know what’s going on inside
Of everyone else like me

Nobody hurt nobody else
Oh, No, I wouldn’t let it be
Nobody have a need to pray
Except for thanking me

If n I was God
I’d make us wise
So everyone could realize
That everywhere beneath the sun
Everyone needs everyone
And, God, that ain’t half
What I would do
If ’n I were you

Oh, yeah

If ’n I was God
I’d make us wise
Everybody touch everybody’s hand

Oh, yeah

Reach out and touch
Somebody’s hand
You got to love everybody, yeah
