If I Were God for a Day

If I were God
You know what I'd do
I'd come down to Earth
And I'd make these people understand
that I am not a superman
I'd take away all the fear
The troubled minds
I'd take away the uncertainty
of life and death
and their fallacy

If I were God for a day
I'd change the world
I'd find a way
I'd give it all that I had
All my love
I'd give it my life

If I were God
and created you
You'd know how I'd feel
I'd do everything to make you see
I wouldn't be such a mystery
I'd become a man
just like you
I'd feel the pain 
and I'd take it all upon myself
Put an end to wrong
Put an end to hell

If I were God for a day
I'd change the world
I'd find a way
I'd give it all that I had
All my love
I'd give it my life
