If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah

If it wasn't for the happiness I'm bringing
If it wasn't for the joy up in my life
If it wasn't for this melody I'm singing
Maybe I would be more broken up inside
If it wasn't for the money and the power
If it wasn't for the superficial things
Maybe love would be the only thing that matters
Ooh, whoa, and we just gotta let it in

If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah

If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah
If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah

The world is in an uproar, yeah
Countries are just talking about a war
Children are starving
They don't even know what for, yeah
If we learn to love each other, oh
Try to live just like sisters and brothers
A peaceful world this will be
Oh, it's a great big world, you see, yeah

If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah
If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah (oh)
If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah

If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah
If it wasn't for this, and wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah

Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
Wasn't for this, wasn't for that
It could be a better world, yeah
