Lyrics
What if I gave you a minute to figure the whole thing out?
What if I gave you a piece of my mind?
Would it affect your aspirations in politics?
Would you continue to be inconceivably blind?
Ah, you're beautiful
And you could be happy
Peace could be your destiny . . .
What if you subscribed to more dialog?
Are you so sure that you had tried to before?
Were you predestined to blame in all on the rest of us?
Why would you want to continue the war?
Ah, you're beautiful to me
And I could be happy
Peace could be my destiny
Maybe someday you'll have a moment of clarity
Maybe someday I'll have a minute of class
Maybe someday we'll establish prosperity
Maybe someday we'll put it all in the past
Ah we're beautiful
And we could be happy
Peace could be our destiny
