If I Could Make the World Dance

[Intro]

Ba-da-ba-da (whoa)

Ba-da-ba-da (whoa)

Ba-da-ba-da (whoa)

Bu-da (you)

Bu-da-bu-da (whoa)

Bu-da-bu-da (whoa)

Bu-da-bu-da (whoa)

[Verse 1]

Signs and wonders that the television shows (whoa)

Hate and poverty for the more, lets me know

That life is a stage and we're all in the show

Starring the World, 'cause we all blow

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)

If we just give each other a chance

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)

We might just fall in love

[Pre-Chorus]

Picture us (in a land)

Where there's no more (no more war)

Shaking hands with my (brother)

And respecting my (my sisters), my my my

(I'm offering) a dance that heals

(A melody) you can feel

Love is the key

All it takes is you and me

[Chorus]

If I could make the world dance

(whoa, if I could make them dance)

Then they would dance something like this

If I could make the world groove

(whoa, if I could make them groove)

Then they would groove something like this

If I could make the world sing

(whoa, if I could make them sing)

Then they would sing something like this

If I could make the world love

(if I could make them love, if I could make the love one another)

Then it would feel something like this

[Verse 2]

Tell me why can't more hungry people overcome

When they've got the means to build bombs, yeah

We're so quick to say God Bless America

But take away In God We Trust

Tell me what the hell is wrong with us?

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)

If we just give each other a chance then

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)

We might just fall in love

[Pre-Chorus]

Picture us (in a land)

Where there's no more (no more war)

Shaking hands with my (brothers)

And respecting my (sisters), my my my

I'm offering (I'm offering) a dance that heals

(A melody) you can feel

Love is the key

All it takes is you and me, yeah

[Chorus]

If I could make the world dance

(whoa, if I could make them dance)

Then they would dance something like this

If I could make the world groove

(whoa, if I could make them groove)

Then they would groove something like this

If I could make the world sing

(whoa, if I could make them sing)

Then they would sing something like this

(if I could make the world...)

If I could make the world love

Then it would feel something like this

[Bridge]

Happy People, baby

Dance with me mama (oh)

Dance with me mama

Dance with me mama (whoa)

Dance with me mama (come on)

Dance with me mama (dance)

People, there's got to be (there's got to be)

A place that we can go (a place that we can go)

And dance out the day

So meet me at the

Spot that we used to go

And just step the night away

Please let's just rewind time

And go back'cause I miss those days

[Chorus]

If I could make the world dance

(whoa, if I could make them dance)

Then they would dance something like this

If I could make the world groove

(whoa, if I could make them groove)

Then they would groove something like this

If I could make the world sing

(whoa, if I could make them sing)

Then they would sing just like this

(if I could make the world love)

If I could make the world love

(I surely would)

Then it would feel something like this, oh

[Refrain]

If I could make the world (if I)

If I could make the world (could make)

If I could make the world (the world)

If I could make the world (oh, if I)

If I could make the world (if I)

If I could make the world (could make)

If I could make the world (the world)

If I could make the world (if i could make)

If I could make the world (if I)

If I could make the world (could make)

[Outro]

Chocolate Factory

If I could make the world dance

I truly would

Marvin Gaye inspired me to write that one, y'all

Just as Frankie Beverly inspired me to write "Love Street"

You know every day is a special occasion, y'all

You know why? 'Cause you woke up this morning

Happy People, baby
