If'n I Was God - Lyrics
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
