If we could change it —
If we could make it as it could be…

If we could have our dreamland,
Our picture perfect life…
Would it really be so perfect
If it hadn’t any strife?

Hardship — yeah, it’s hard;
But it “builds character.”
It has its point in life
As our very own chauffeur.

If we would take all that away,
And warp from point A to point B,
Just imagine all the things we’d miss
By skipping on the journey!
