David Phelps - If Everyone Believed lyrics

It was 1983 On a snowy Christmas Eve With my family And the Christmas tree and lights That was when it all went wrong Someone turned the TV on And the evening news Broadcast the blues that night But my dad saw my despair He put his arm around me there He said, "Let me tell you this It's my lifelong Christmas wish" He said If everyone believed Oh, what a happy place it would be We'd live in peace on earth as a great big family If everyone believed Now the years have come and gone But that Christmas wish lives on It's the thing I pray When the holidays draw near You see the news is still real sad And people, they're both good and bad But you just might cope If you spread some hope and cheer So as we sing 'Joy To The Earth' And celebrate the Savior's birth I pull my family close to me And tell them how the world could be If everyone believed Oh, what a happy place it would be We'd live in peace on earth as a great big family If everyone believed And I know that it's easy to say Oh, but I'm gonna dream it anyway 'Cause a dream becomes a song And when we sing it we pa** it on If everyone believed Oh, what a happy place it would be We'd live in peace on earth as a great big family If everyone believed, if everyone believed
