Katelyn was a young girl, who dreamt of curing the sick,
She told me that she wanted to help her sick parents, who are already weak,
Bobby on the other hand would like to be an engineer,
He wanted safer roads for most people, who died in fear,
One night I dreamt of being someone,
In service of everyone,
They all have their dreams and maybe it’s for the good of everyone,
If only they we’re given a chance to live what they dreamt to become,
If only she became a doctor and he became an engineer,
Then probably life could have been much clear,
If only and If only chances are made to come true…
They could have saved the world, me and you,
Mary was fourteen and she wanted to be a lawyer,
She wished that she could defend anyone including her father,
Danny her younger brother just wanted to be a truck driver,
But he feared trucks but he wanted to help his mother,
One day I wished of being someone,
To be the light of everyone,
They all have their dreams and maybe it’s for the good of everyone,
If only they we’re given a chance to live what they dreamt to become,
If only she became a lawyer and he became a truck driver,
Then probably life could have been much remembered,
If only and If only dreams are made to come true…
They could have saved the world, me and you,
Many children can tell you their stories that you never wished you heard,
Many people tried to ignore them but someday you’ll listen to what has transferred,
In the lives of everyone around you,
If only and if only there’s something you will do…
They all have their dreams and maybe it’s for the good of everyone,
If only they we’re given a chance to live what they dreamt to become,
If only they became what they wanted to be,
They could have saved the world, you and me,
If only and if only chances are made to come true…
If only and if only dreams are made to come true…
They could have saved the world, me and you.
