If fireflies light the nighttime sky,
If hungry babies always cry,
If words are not a hurtful means
To taint, destroy and ruin dreams,
If men could live in peace at last,
Forgive and not relive the past,
If you and I could always know
That tides will ebb and tides will flow,
If lilacs bloom in every spring,
If newborn birds will take to wing,
If Autumn leaves can always fall,
If sailors hear the sirens call,
If love and God are always real,
If hate is nothing one will feel,
If, in our world, these things can stand,
There is no "if." There's only "and."
And fireflies light the nighttime sky,
And hungry babies always cry.
