If Everyone Cared



Another great song from an band not necessarily known for their moral lyrics, Nickleback hits home on the problem of the world.

"If Everyone Cared"

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
(I'm alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

[Chorus]

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died


Just read the chorus,

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

Think about it, if everyone cared, if everyone loved, those two things right there, thats what the world needs (another good song). If no one lied, if everyone swallowed their pride? Why is it that its always the people of the secular world who figure this stuff out first. We as disciples have been complacent and thus the rest of the world has taken our job of making the world a better place. Maybe its time to once again become the members of the world everyone wants to be around because of our compassion. Maybe its time to start finding new ideas instead of using the old ones.

Once again we need to love the world, its a world in need of a bandaid, and the bandaid is us and our compassion.

BTW watch the video, and read everything pops up, Just Do It :)
