"If I Want To" lyrics

"If I Want To"
("She's Back" Version)

I see what people do
I hear what people say
I know there's trouble everywhere
I see it everyday
Some things won't get better
Some people won't get through
But I can dream of a better world
If I want to

If I want to imagine
Peace on every hand
I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand

Anytime I start missing
Human harmony
I listen hard until I hear
The music inside of me
I can dream of a better world
If I want to
I can sing of a better world
If I want to
And I want to

You walk down any street
You don't know what you'll find
Sometimes it takes me all I have
To face a world unkind
I won't give up trying
I won't just let it go
I still believe you can plant a dream
If you want to

And if you want to imagine
Peace on every hand
Close your eyes
And dream your dreams
In dreams you'll take a stand

Anytime I start missing
Human harmony
I listen hard until I hear
The music inside of me
I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to

And I want to

I listen hard until I hear
The music inside of me
I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to
I listen hard until I hear
The music inside of me
I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to
And I want to
