Billy Gilman - I Could...If They Would

WORDS BY MATTIE J.T.STEPANEK

MUSIC BY JON STONE

FROM THE BOOK JOURNEY THROUGH HEARTSONGS

If they would find a cure when I'm a kid

I could ride a bike and sail on rollerblades

And I could go on really long nature hikes

If they would find a cure when I'm a teenager

I could earn my license and drive a car

And I could dance every dance at my senior prom

If they would find a cure when I'm a young adult

I could travel around the world and teach peace

And I could marry and have children of my own

I could...if they would

Oh I could...if they would

If they would find a cure when I'm grown old

I could visit exotic places and appreciate culture

And proudly share pictures of my grandchildren

If they would find a cure when I'm alive

I could live each day without pain and machines

And I could celebrate the biggest thank you of life ever

I could...if they would

Oh I could...if they would

If they would find a cure when I'm buried into heaven

I could still celebrate with my brothers and sister there

And I'd still be happy knowing that I,

Knowing that I,

Was a part of the effort
