If I Were in Charge of the World



If I were in charge of the world
I’d end world hunger
And homelessness
And cancer

If I were in charge of the world
There’d be more food
And money
And water

If I were in charge of the world
You wouldn’t have death
You wouldn’t have sickness
You wouldn’t even have diabetes

If I were in charge of the world
People would be happy
And excited
And no one would be blind

If I were in charge of the world
There’d be more games
And more clothes
And much less disabilities

If I were to change the world
All people would have a home
And clothes
And food
The world would be much better
If I were to change the world
