The World I Live In

How Much Easier It Would Be

How much easier it would be,
If the deaf could hear,
And the blind could see.
If the weak were strong,
And the mute could sing.
If we all knew what's wrong,
And choose what's right.
If we loved,
And didn't live in spite.
If we had only care free days,
Full of sunshine,
And soft, gentle rain.
But then we'd never know the joy,
Of getting through,
The thunder and the pain.
