Story Behind The Song

I think that I was overwhelmed with the news from Iraq qnd the world situation in general and would really like to make things better. But I had just gone through a bad break up and felt powerless to help myself let alone the world

Song Description

I'd make the world a better place to live if I could but i know i can't because i can't even make you come home

Lyrics

If it were in my power,
I'd change the world right now.
There'd be no more murder rape or plunder
and we'd all get along somehow
I'd feed the hungry, house the homeless
teach compassion and harmony
make mommies and daddies love their babies
Make you come back to me

CHORUS:
In my dreams
This world is a wondrous place
where no one hates or dies from hunger
And there's a smile on everybody's face
In my dreams
We all do what we're supposed to do
And i love my dreams cause in my dreams
Baby I still have you

But I know
I am just one small man
I can't make anyone do anything
All I can do is what I can
I could go plumb crazy, mad with worry
Trying to set the whole world free
But I can't make anybody love anybody
If I could... You'd love me

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I'd save the rain forest, clean up the oceans
And no one would ever be fat
End gang violence and government corruption
And baby make you come back

REPEAT CHORUS
