It could be better,we could never grow old
We could never get sick, never fail to be bold
Never struggle like rats, just to stay half alive
We could figure it out,everyone could thrive
It could be better, but it is how it is
It could be nicer, we could have nicer laws
No bruising gravity, no personal flaws
No dread diseases , no genocide wars
We could be healers, not dealers in scars
It could be better, but it is how it is
You're growing older, but I'm calling times bluff
Your heart grows smoother, as your skin gets rough
So long as I remember , how you looked before
No time can knock my love to the floor
It won't be buckled, it won't be bent
Since you are the one, for whom I was meant
I wish like lightning, and dream like the rain
The world was different, not riddled with pain
If we had the power, we'd do better than this
It could be much better, but it is how it is
I wish like lightning, and dream like the rain
The world was different, not riddled with pain
If we had the power, we'd do better than this
It could be much better, but it is how it is
We'll have to stay strong, and enjoy what we can
Till the devil comes along, to mess with our plan
I wish like lightning, and dream like the rain
The world was different, not riddled with pain
It could be better, it could be better, but it is what it is
