Tolerance


What if? is a powerful question:

What if I could fly, What if I could soar.

What if I could change the world.

The change would start with the little things,

The way people talk, they way people think

The way that they look at the world that they're in.

If people change, then the world can too

And we can rethink all the things that we do.

If Muslims saw Christians as brothers and friends

This world wouldn't have so many sins.

If Christians stopped thinking that they have to save

Then everything wouldn't have to be the same.

If America didn't believe that we were the best

Our children would find that "different" isn't bad.

The world could be a much better place

If we stop teaching ignorance and start teaching tolerance.
