What If Our World by John and Dino Elefante

Copyright 1995 Uncle Pitts Music (adm. by Word Inc.)

I wake up in the morning tired and weary

Looking for a reason to get me through another day

My legs are weak my eyes are tired and teary

Yes, I know it's hard but it's got to be this way

I get so caught up in the things that don't matter

As the minutes of my life just slip away

But I found out what's important to me



What if our world was without love

And all of the things that really matter

Would it be worth the fight

So that we could carry on

What if my world was without You

And everything that we've been through

It would have no meaning in a world without love



When I was young I dreamed I'd be a rich man

And the simple life would never be enough

But I heard the family down the street

Just lost a young boy

I can't imagine anything that rough

And you can't turn your back on a man

Who is cold and hungry

Cuz brother one day that could be you

But I found out what's important to me

May I never be too blind to see



What if our world was without love

And all of the things that really matter

Would it be worth the fight

So that we could carry on

What if my world was without You

And everything that we've been through

It would have no meaning in a world without love



We try to live in doubt

We try to take the weight of the world

Upon our shoulders

I'm here to testify that I can't deny

That living in a world without love is so much colder

I'm gonna say it again



What if out world

Was without love

Would anything really matter

What if our world

Was without love

I don't think so

Would anything really matter

Not in a world without love.
